County accepts $30,000 grant for 'Voices from Revolutionary Saratoga' exhibit at Gateway Visitor Center
Summary
Saratoga County accepted a $30,000 grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership to fund four interactive panels for the "Saratoga Revolutionary Experience" exhibit at the Gateway Visitor Center in Schuylerville; the project has a 10-month timeline and requires no cash match.
Lauren Roberts asked the committee to accept a $30,000 grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership to support the "Voices from Revolutionary Saratoga" exhibit at the Gateway Visitor Center in Schuylerville. The committee approved the acceptance on a voice vote.
Roberts said the grant complements a project approved the prior month and will fund four large-scale stationary panels in the lower level of the Gateway Visitor Center's Saratoga Revolutionary Experience. Each panel will focus on different stories and include an interactive component accessed by QR codes that will trigger augmented reality content or 3-D modeling for exhibit visitors.
The project timeline is 10 months and the grant requires no cash match; Roberts said the county will provide in-kind services, including staff time to coordinate and to install the panels. Committee members moved, seconded and voted "Aye" to accept the grant; no opposition was recorded in the provided transcript.
The accepted grant funds the exhibit installation and interactive elements; implementation steps include coordinating with the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership, completing design and AR content, and scheduling installation in the lower-level exhibit space at Gateway Visitor Center.
Roberts did not record additional conditions or questions in the supplied transcript; the presenter and the committee agreed to move forward with acceptance and implementation tasks.
