American Legion Buddy Wright Post 48 in Brenham will soon begin renovations to the women’s restroom at the American Legion Hall.
The American Legion Post is the recipient of a $20,368 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority and the City of Brenham.
The LCRA community grant, along with $5,092 in matching funds from the City will enable the post to complete repairs to the women’s restroom including the installation of new toilets, sinks, flooring, cabinets, lighting, and plumbing.
The American Legion Hall regularly hosts community events such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day celebrations, a first responder awards ceremony, and Oktoberfest. The Hall also serves as a polling location for Washington County.
Supporters are hopeful that the renovation will enhance the venue’s appeal as a gathering site.
This is one of 41 grants awarded recently through LCRA Community Grants.
The grants are awarded twice a year as part of LCRA’s effort to give back to communities in its wholesale electric, water, and transmission service areas.
The City of Brenham is one of LCRA’s wholesale electric customers and is a partner in the Community Grants Program.
Applications for the next round of grants will be accepted beginning in January.
