Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process.

With the information obtained from this project the Murray County Historical Society in coordination with the Murray County board of commissioners can better understand the needs of this collection and work to preserve it. Already this document has been used to inform a strategic planning session held in March, 2019 and will continue to inform that 3-5 year plan as it matures through continuing discussions. With this information the Historical Society is considering a feasibility study of two options: Move forward with reconstruction of the current building based upon estimates from the HVAC study or consider the costs and benefits of a new building to house the collection.
