The deadline for the 2012 Sullivan Renaissance Beautification Grants Program was today at 5:00 PM. Being involved with Sullivan Renaissance last year working with the MCDP here in Mountaindale was a very enriching experience for me, and though I will miss all the wonderful people I met on the trail while working on our award winning "Train Garden" last summer, am very excited at the prospect of working with the folks in Rock Hill.

Applications Are In For Sullivan Renaissance Projects, and Work Is Progressing On Roch Hill's Own 2012 Renaissance Project As Crews Renovate Former Tourist Center
 |
| Visitors Center Late Fall 2011 |
The deadline for filing Sullivan Renaissance Applications
for 2012 was today at 5:00 PM, and thanks to the hard work of Melinda
and many others, Rock Hill's application was timely filed for this
year...Rock Hill this year has decided to step up and do a far reaching
and very large project as a category C participant, and for those
driving through town recently, you have been watching a major part of
this year's plan come to fruition thanks to generous support of Steven Gottlieb and the Gottlieb family.
Sure you have noticed all the work crews, and activity kitty corner across the street from the Trading Post here
in town as our former Visitor's Center undergoes a major transformation
from crumbling derelict building into a beautiful pristine downtown
Rock Hill showcase...special thanks to the contractors and electrician
who are playing a crucial role, working with Steven Gottlieb, in this
incredible makeover that is just one part of this year's Rock Hill

In brief discussions with the workers, with Gary Gottlieb, seems our old
visitors center has quite a personal history, a history that we hope to
share here in this blog...suffice it to say, that the structure has
been moved numerous times (have heard a number as high as seven), and
this is the building's second makeover at it's current location. This
makeover should assure that the little house that could will be around
for at least another 100 years, as everything inside and out is in the
process of receiving a full structural and cosmetic makeover.
Some highlights of this year's Rock Hill Sullivan Renaissance Application include:
1. Moving our "Farmers Market" to this new location.
2. Both renovation and enlargement of the Trading Post employee parking area at this site.

3. Construction and installation of a beautiful Gazebo.
4. New raised flower bed and signage for "Farmers Market".
