Set in Stone Phase 4 Receives Full Funding

Last March, we applied to the Massachusetts Historical Commission for a Round 30 Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund (MPPF) grant and patiently waited.... The wait is over, and we are thrilled to announce that we have received a $50,000 MPPF grant for Phase 4 repairs.
This is the third MPPF grant we have received for this critical restoration work. We also received $50,000 during the Round 26 MPPF grant cycle in 2020 and the Round 28 MPPF grant cycle in 2022. This Round 30 grant, coupled with a matching grant received from the Robinson-Broadhurst Foundation, gives us sufficient funds to proceed apace with Phase 4. As planned, we will be focusing on the West face of the bell tower.
The MPPF grant schedule will see us meeting with our architect and masons, collecting bids, and awarding a contract to be executed in Spring 2025.
