The Greenwood Interprofessional Autism Center project has passed the final funding hurdle.
Following the approval of $4.6 million in state appropriations in June, the project has amassed the necessary $7.9 million to renovate the nearly 100-year-old building into an autism center in Kirksville. After Truman State University began the project in 2015, a timeframe for completion is within sight.
“Truman is really excited that, here were are, we have the funding, and this really seems like it’s going to happen,” said Janet Gooch, Truman’s executive vice president for academic affairs and provost. “To think of all of the people that have been involved, because it has definitely been a community effort. It hasn’t just been Truman, it has been a lot of people that have helped make this a reality.”
