Local group awarded $150,000 Lilly Endowment planning grant; could leverage up to $1.2M
Summary
A local representative told commissioners a $150,000 Lilly Endowment planning grant could lead to up to $1,000,000 from the endowment plus a 20% local match, enabling roughly $1.2 million in capital work if the plan is approved.
At the commissioner's invitation, Norm reported the group received a $150,000 planning grant from the Lilly Endowment. He said the planning grant would support designing a capital project that, if approved by the endowment, could yield up to $1,000,000 from the Lilly Endowment; the project would include a 20% local match, bringing the potential total to about $1.2 million for construction or repairs.
Norm described immediate uses if the larger grant is not approved: the planning funds could be applied to replace windows, repair roofs and make other upgrades. He said the group's priorities include demolishing two dilapidated office buildings behind the group home and replacing them with a new office building to improve program and meeting space.
