The National Park Service awarded a $499,488 Project Grant to WGS3.0 Inc. under the Historic Preservation Fund Grants-In-Aid program (CFDA 15.904) to support preservation efforts at Girard Elementary School in Girard, Georgia. Funding will cover laser surveying and environmental cleanup work, as well as design and engineering studies from August 2022 to August 2025. As a school built in 1955 under Georgia's separate but equal policy, the project aims to properly document the property and ready it for planned senior and after-school programs that will enhance access to the historically significant site. The grant will fund initial preservation activities needed to advance the project's goals of both conserving the school's history and expanding community services.
