February, 2017 – Great news – we have received another grant! The Norwood project has been awarded a Planning grant from Preservation Austin, our city’s premier historic preservation advocacy org. This grant provides matching funds for engineering & schematic plans we need to move Norwood forward with the City of Austin’s Neighborhood Partnering Program. NPP, in turn, will provide a substantial part of Norwood’s future hardscape needs like street realignment, sidewalks, curbs & gutters, circle drive, etc. Got that? Yes, it’s complicated, but programs like NPP (and there are others) will provide the means for Norwood to access the municipal funding that is appropriate for our public/private partnership with the City. Win win all around!
We are proud that Preservation Austin has partnered with us in this very meaningful way, toward restoring and repurposing one of our city’s most amazing historic properties. Thank you Preservation Austin!
