Manchester-Coffee County Conference Center applies for Grant

The Manchester-Coffee County Conference Center (MCCCC) is looking to get into the outside venue business. The center is applying for a $50,000 grant from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.
County officials have agreed to match 30 percent of the grant money – about $15,000 – which will bring the total amount to $65,000.
Executive Director Rebecca French said the center will use the money for a concrete pad and a building beside the parking lot of the conference center. She also plans to purchase chairs to be used for outdoor events.
One of the reasons is to allow wedding ceremonies outside.
