- Approximate cost of the barn is $110,000;
- The PHS has already received $15,000 from the Davis Foundation;
- They are waiting to hear about a grant through the Stephan King Foundation;
- The more funds they received outside the town will mean that less TIF funds will be needed;
- The final applications will need to be signed by Friday as it is due by July 1, 2011;
- The building will have radiant heat as the historical artifacts will need to be in a controlled environment;
- The cost for the inside of the building still needs to be finalized.
