The Collinsville Historical Association recently received approval for a $25,000 Resource Conservation and Development Council Grant to assist the Collinsville Museum Roof.
The Collinsville Historical Association (CHA) was recently awarded a $10,000 grant from the Alabama Mountains, Rivers and Valley Resource Conservation and Development Council.
Collinsville Historical Association President Monica Dennis said the grant is awarded to communities trying to improve residents quality of life and natural resources.
The Cricket Theatre restoration is an ongoing project of love for CHA to provide the residents of Collinsville a place to gather, celebrate, entertain and promote the arts.
âWe are excited and grateful we were chosen to receive this grant to assist with our ongoing renovation of the Cricket Theatre,â she said.
Dennis said the grant would assist with much-needed repairs to the ceiling structure so Collinsville and surrounding areas can have a facility large enough to accommodate social distancing.
