The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to support the development of a Historic Preservation Technology curriculum at Edgecombe Community College. The College will provide training in the areas of southern architecture, brick masonry for historic buildings, roofing and window restoration, and decorative arts. The program is designed to enhance the employability of those working in construction, repair, renovation and facility maintenance.
