As part of its Roundhouse 101 Centennial Challenge development campaign, the Siouxland Historical Railroad Association is initiating a new program “Adopt-a-Special-Action Project” or better known as ASAPs. The Special Action Projects are short-term projects requiring capital resources of $50,000 or less for materials and supplies, can be accomplished with volunteer labor or small contractors, and are incremental projects that can be standalone projects making significant progress towards the overall eight-year redevelopment plan for the Milwaukee Railroad Shops Historic District. The projects may have a timeframe of one day, a week, month, or several months.
The Adopt-a-Special-Action Project program allows for individuals to become stewards of the project by making a contribution to help fund the expenses associated with the project, as a volunteer involved with the project’s implementation, or a combination of both.
The ASAP projects for historic preservation season 2009 include the installation of gutters on the roundhouse building, the electrification of the turntable, and the construction of a new restoration workshop area in the roundhouse. Additional projects will be added throughout the year.
If you would like to help underwrite the costs of a project, or wish to volunteer in the heritage stewardship program, please e-mail shra@cableone.net for more details on the project. We will provide more information on each project as the project coordinators develop their budgets and work plans over the next month.
