On Wednesday the City of Goldsboro became the latest city to receive one of T-Mobile’s 25 Hometown Grants.

The $30,287 grant will go toward installing automatic doors at the Wayne Opportunity Center, providing a safe, accessible, and inclusive environment for the community.

“Automatic doors will provide a safe, accessible, and inclusive environment for the community while the picnic tables and park benches will enhance our outside patio area,” said Amy Hartley, Executive Director, The Wayne Opportunity Center. 

Through Hometown Grants, people in communities nationwide are kickstarting projects that make a real difference and help their towns thrive.

Since launching its five-year commitment to small towns in April 2021, T-Mobile has awarded a whopping 275 communities across 46 states and over $12 million in funding. 

 In addition, T-Mobile is boosting its largest, fastest, and most awarded 5G network in communities across rural America, recently announcing expanded Ultra Capacity 5G network performance for nearly 60 million customers over nearly 300,000 square miles from Auction 108.  

Each quarter, T-Mobile awards 25 Hometown Grants to small towns with populations of 50,000 or less. To apply for a Hometown Grant, visit here. To learn more about this quarter’s recipients, visit our newsroom.
