We are honored and proud to have won first place in Neighborhoods, USA’s Neighborhood of the Year Award 2010 national competition in the category of Physical Revitalization – Single Neighborhood.
The project titled, “Willmore School House, On the Move” saved a 106-year old house from demolition, moved and restored it, helped a local family buy it and removed two blighted, vacant lots from the neighborhood. This project would not have been possible without the thousands of hours of volunteer labor donated by WCHA members, neighbors, and friends. We thank all of you for your continued time, effort, and generous support to make this project a true success.
You can view the presentation on shared in Arkansas this summer on our Facebook page, and here is an additional link to the official press-release.
