Grants awarded two Black Belt towns
Published Wednesday, October 21, 2009
MONTGOMERY — The towns of Luverne and White Hall have received Community Development Block Grants of $400,000 each for infrastructure improvements.
Gov. Bob Riley announced the grants Tuesday.
Luverne will use its grant to upgrade its sewer system by replacing lines and enhancing equipment on the city’s west side.
White Hall will construct a treatment plant and sewer line to serve 138 residents.
Each community will pay a match of $40,000.
Funding for the grants came to the state through a program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The Alabama Department of Economic and Commuity Affairs is administering the grant.

Grants awarded two Black Belt towns
Shouldn't this read "Grants awarded to two Black Belt towns"?

Bama,
Sometimes headlines take shortcuts. We avoided the "to" "two" thing by using just one.
Thanks for reading.

Then why not say "Two Black Belt towns awarded grants"?
Same number of words and it actually makes sense.
