Delray Beach: City grant helps Historical Society

Posted by Mary Kate Leming on December 1, 2010 at 14:56
The Delray Beach Historical Society was granted $30,000 by the City Commission to keep its archives open to the public part-time, as required by a Palm Beach County construction grant, as well as to maintain the historic village.
The society sought help after slashing its budget to under $50,000 from $250,000 and reducing operational hours, eliminating events, losing personnel and narrowing its mission.
