Elected Officials Question if Grant's $1 Million Local Match was Overlooked or Omitted
Some surprised to discover a $990,000 local match would be required for the $18.8 million grant for Oakwood's renovation
The $18.8 million grant from the NC Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) for the complete renovation of Oakwood Elementary School will require a 5% local match. The realization that Caswell County would need to come up with $990,000 for the project momentarily dampened the Board of Education's excitement about the renovation and left them questioning how they and the county applied for a grant without realizing it would require nearly $1 million in matching local funds.
