South Grand Lake Visitor Center Needs Funds

Although funds in the amount of $400,000 are in the bank, another $300,000 is still needed to assure construction of the South Grand Lake Visitor Center above Pensacola Dam.
According to Bruce Howell, longtime advocate of the center, "there is now no hope of obtaining any state funding." "We must raise the remaining amount locally," he said.
Total estimated cost, without furnishings, is $700,000.
The center would include a museum housing many artifacts and objects of history from the Pensacola Dam construction in 1938-1940, as well as a home for the South Grand Lake Chamber of Commerce. A meeting is set for this week to discuss how to proceed, he said.
