Corpus Christi receives $450,000 to aid in exterior restoration of church

Corpus ChristiWord came down late last week that Corpus Christi is going to receive an early Christmas present to the tune of $450,000 in the form an Environmental Protection Fund (EFP) Grant from New York State.  This news is huge to say the least.

The EPF, created in 1993, is primarily funded through the real estate transfer tax and provides a dedicated source of funding for a variety of environmental projects and programs administered by the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, the Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Department of Agriculture and Markets.

Governor Eliot Spitzer “This vital funding helps make cultural and recreational opportunities available to all New Yorkers and countless visitors, and contributes to the economic revitalization of our state,” said Governor Spitzer. “Funding for local communities and organizations to undertake these important environmental projects will preserve and protect our valuable natural resources and promote New York’s rich historic and cultural tradition.”

Corpus Christi received the second largest grant in the region.

The church will be releasing more information about the grant over the coming days.

I think I have mentioned this before, but in case I haven’t…Broadway-Fillmore is ALIVE!

    Corpus Christi and everyone involved with the parish have definately been the shining example of what can happen when people dont give up on a church,they took matters into their own hands and saved their church from closing, They were creative and made up the formula for success as they went along..Hats off to all of you!
