Stationhouse granted $25,000 Erin Knutson Hope Standard A recent grant of $25,000 toward the completion of the Station House project in Hope has members of the community and AdvantageHOPE, excited about the prospects and future of its development. The historical landmark building has been rescued through the efforts of a dedicated group of individuals in the community; including, volunteers, local dignitaries and The District of Hope. Hope is at the southern tip of the cachement area applied to the
Southern Initiative Trust Region, according to executive director for AdvantageHOPE Tammy Shields. “We were told that funding for our project would be an exception due to its capital nature, when we first submitted the application,” said Shields. “There were some additional concerns, but it was eventually approved by the board.” The group recently found out about the grant approval and will put it to good use, as the project moves steadily forward with structural reparations to the building.
