This $499,521 project grant from the Department of the Interior National Park Service will fund restoration of the Sullivan Building in Selma, Alabama. Administered under the Historic Preservation Fund Grants-In-Aid program (CFDA 15.904), the award will support structural repairs to the building's roof, electrical, plumbing and ductwork systems. Once renovations are complete by August 2025, the space will be used as a community center and cultural venue promoting economic development. Specifically, the building will provide incubator kitchens and a small food court area for local chefs to collaboratively grow their businesses. The sole sub-awardee, Selma Center Truth & Reconciliation Selma Center For Nonviolence, will oversee delivery of these products and services utilizing the renovated facility.
