On March 1st, with the Knight Foundry Corporation actively assisting, the
City of Sutter Creek submitted a Round 3 grant application to the California
Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE).  This application requested
funds to help cover much of the cost of acquisition, environmental mitigation,
and related renovation projects.  In response to  the application, on August
23rd, the CCHE board reserved $870,750 in matching funds for Knight
Foundry, a tremendous boost to our fundraising campaign.

The Knight Foundry Corporation is dedicated to securing historic Knight
Foundry in Public Trust ownership, and to renovating and operating this
national treasure.
