NDO gets $4.6M grant

WASHINGTON - For the second time in as many months, there's word of a multi-million dollar federal grant for a Gainesville-based HeadStart program.

The latest grant for Ninth District Opportunity, totaling $4.6 million, was announced Tuesday by Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson.

It comes on the heels of a $5.1 million outlay announced in February.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Region IV Office for Children and Families will distribute both grants.
