ST. PAUL – State Rep. Paul Anderson, R-Starbuck, applauds the Episcopal Church of the Good Samaritan in Sauk Centre for receiving a $50,000 Legacy Amendment grant to rebuild the chancel wall in the church.

The Minnesota Historical Society is issuing the grant via the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. It will allow the church to hire qualified professionals to rebuild the chancel wall in the church, which is listed on the National Register of Historic places.

“Nice job to those who put together this successful grant,” Anderson said. “I look forward to seeing the results from this project, which will preserve part of our local heritage so that it may be enjoyed by future generations.”

Funding for the grants is from the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. In fiscal year 2018, $4.5 million is available for projects such as these which pertain to history programs, projects or preservation of resources.
