Set in Stone Receives Two Major Grants

We’ve been patiently waiting….and the wait is finally over. UUCW is the grateful recipient of two matching grants to fund Phase 3 of our continued building repairs. The Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) awarded us $50,000 in Round 28 of their Massachusetts Projects Preservation Program. This will be matched with a $65,000 grant previously awarded by the Robinson-Broadhurst Foundation. The combined sum will allow us to tackle major repairs to the “valley” between the tower and main building and seal up leaky areas that have been allowing water ingress into the sanctuary during heavy rains.

Over the next several months we will undertake several prescribed steps: site visits from MHC, bids from qualified contractors, and initiation of work with oversight by a preservation architect.
