Commissioners approve $7,500 CLG grant application to nominate Churchill School to National Register
Summary
The court approved submission of a FY2026 Certified Local Government grant application to prepare a National Register nomination for the 1870-built Churchill School, with the county budgeting $7,500 and the CLG requesting a matching $7,500.
County staff presented a FY2026 Certified Local Government (CLG) grant application to prepare a National Register nomination for the Churchill School, built in 1870. Ms. Coors said the structure is significant to early county education and requested $7,500 in grant funds; the commissioner's court had budgeted $7,500 in matching funds.
Commissioner Webb moved to approve the grant application and authorize the county judge to sign; the motion passed by voice vote. Staff said the nomination would provide formal recognition and additional protection for the property.
The application moves the Churchill School project into the next stage of preservation review if the Texas Historical Commission awards the CLG funds.
