This project is supported by Louisiana State Representative Roy Adams, State Senator Caleb Kleinpeter, and the community members of Clinton, Louisiana and surrounding areas.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          The goal is to revitalize the schoolhouse which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005 because of its history as a milestone in education in East Feliciana Parish. Since the school is contributing to the National Register, it is eligible for state historic tax credits which could save 35% of the expenses. Our goals of the funding allocation we are requesting is to:

1) Create a strategic plan to revitalize the facility based on community feedback and financial feasibility
2) Create a long-term plan to provide financial stability to the organization to operate and maintain the facility without having to request for future State funding assistance
3) Create a resource roadmap for programming, initiatives, and service activities which can provide economic and quality of life benefits for the residents of Clinton, Louisiana and the surrounding areas


What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           9-12 months to accomplish the goals listed above and 24-36 months for the full project revitalization if funding support is met without delay.
