SHEFFIELD-On Thursday, April 4 the Muscle Shoals Heritage Area along with Friends of Nitrate Village No. 1 School Revitalization held a press conference to celebrate the completion of roof repair on the 100-year old school.
Carrie Barske Crawford, director of MSHA told the crowd the roofing project has been completed and the next step would be to work on the interior of the historic school. With grants from MSHA of $10,000 and matching funds from the City of Sheffield in the amount of $10,000 and a little extra work from MG Roofing the roof is now sound.
Martin Gassier of MG Roofing was given a photo of the old school by Greg Harrison a member of the Village School friends and resident of The Village as a token of appreciation on the work done over and above the $20,00.00 grants.
QCDNews was on hand and captured the event in photos:
