I sent in my rendering to the state of my proposal of the Dayton building on south main. He liked it and will take it to his boss to sign the award letter. Briefly, the state will pay up to $100,000 to help fix my building.

There are also grants to help put a fitness center in a rural town so i will be applying for those as well.

Once that’s done, next year I can apply for a grant to help fix up my other Dayton building.

The bedroom and closet exterior walls are now framed and insulated. Progress.
