In November, the Foundation Board of Directors unanimously approved devoting the $100,000 from the Lilly GIFT VII grant, and an additional $25,000 from the Unrestricted Fund in support of the Downtown Pathways Project. “The Foundation Board recognizes a thriving downtown area is the heart of the community. The downtown Bluffton area is coming back to life and it will serve as a harbinger of larger social, economic, demographic, and technological trends. Through a large grant to the Parlor City Plaza, the purchase of Market Street Centre to house the Foundation office, and now this $125,000 grant to the Downtown Pathways Project, the Foundation is pleased to be a major partner in supporting the continued improvement of the downtown area” said Tammy Slater, Foundation CEO.
