Toccoa Gets Grant for Schaefer Center Report
07/06/2011
A state grant will help the city of Toccoa create a report to take a closer look at the Schaefer Center.Last week, the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the Tourism Division of the Georgia Division of Economic Development, and the Fox Theater Institute announced that Toccoa would receive $2,000 to help the city create a historic structures report for the Schaefer Center.
Katy Sides with Main Street Toccoa said this report will provide information needed to preserve and care for the theater moving forward.“What a historic structures report does is it gathers documentary information, as well as takes pictures and getting a better understanding of the physical shape of the building to know its current condition, as well as the history of the building, how it was first built, and any additions put on the building over time,” said Sides.The grant provides 50 percent of the funding for the project. The city will provide $750 in additional funding, along with in-kind work to make up its 50 percent.The city plans to use a historic preservation planner or architect to produce the report.Sides said that the grant provides a wonderful opportunity in regards to the building and downtown.“(We are) very excited to be included in the project and hopefully developing some future plans for the Schaefer Center,” said Sides.According to Sides, the city hopes to begin work on the report in late summer or early fall and complete the report either by the end of this year or early next year.
The Currahee Arts Council, which operated the Schaefer Center, announced in February it was closing the downtown theater and performing arts center, which is located at the corner of Doyle and Broad streets. However, just a couple of weeks later, Woody Woods announced that his Southern Gospel Jubilee Concert Series had raised enough through donations to take over operations and keep the center open. The center plays host to the gospel concert series and it has remained open since for those concerts.
The grant program awarded $10,000 in all to a number of projects throughout the state. Georgia Historic Preservation Division Director David Crass said the program’s goal is to provide seed money that can spur other preservation and tourism projects at a historic theater and in its surrounding community.
