Executive Summary: |
Guardians of Grover Barn and the Douglas County Historical Society are requesting authorization of the City to submit a grant to fund interpretive signage at the Grover Barn Underground Railroad Site, which is owned by the City. The site is located on Stonebarn Terrace. The group made a similar request to submit a grant last year, which was not funding. It appears this is a good opportunity to secure interpretive signage for this historical property. The City would approve the signage that would be placed, if the grant is funded.
