Project Description: |
Florida, and in particular, the Panhandle region, is home to some of the nation's oldest and most delicate artifacts and antiques. Facilities for the curation and storage of these artifacts suffered greatly during recent hurricanes necessitating state-of-the art facilities for their future care. Florida's rich cultural past will be better preserved as a result of this request which will be used to construct a 14,000 square foot facility. |
