Boones Mill Depot coming down?

[NW Mailing List]

How much is still needed to secure and move the depot, and how quickly?

$100,000 was the estimated cost in this http://www.roanokepreservation.org/Index/EndangeredSites2012.pdf

I Walked with the Pirates for the third time on May 26th - all 12 miles in record time! Many thanks to all who have supported this - £990 so far - only £10 short of the £1000 target! - there's still time for others to sponsor me 

We want to raise a total of £30,000 this year through WLaP and other fundraising, for the many improvements that will make the Castle an even better place for ALL to meet, participate and enjoy.

>Lois Slotnick, Executive Director of the Boones Mill Norfolk & Western Depot Restoration, Inc. just informed me that a construction company has filed for a permit with Franklin County to demolish the Boones Mill Depot.

>Lois has been working with the town and other preservation organizations to protect and preserve the station. Norfolk Southern has offered to donate the station on the condition that it be moved off their property. Neither Lois' organization nor the town have the funds available for moving the depot.
