Federal Grant Approved
The BHPS received notification from Congressman Bergman's Office that the Federal Grant that the BHPS applied for was approved. The Directors are currently working with Rural Development on the Bates Hall Project. They are grateful to all who made this happen.
Membership Drive
Due to the successful donation/membership drive held in November, BHPS has surpassed their goal of $300k due to two anonymous large donations. The Directors recently changed the funding thermometer at the Hall to $312,666.
It is hoped that this grant and the BHPS fund balance will complete Phase I of the project. However, it does not do away with fundraisers as they will still have Phase II which includes Legacy Park in 2027!
Ongoing Support
The BHPS wish to thank all of those who have been, and continue to be, supportive and wanting to be a part of the moving and restoration of the 1907 Bates Town Ship Hall, located at 3070 US Hwy. 2, Iron River, Michigan.
