LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) The Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Council has awarded several grants to fund projects statewide, including $1.1 million to the War Memorial Stadium Commission in Little Rock to upgrade its scoreboard and two video boards.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports the council agreed Wednesday to award $22.1 million in state grants to fund 20 requests submitted by state agencies. Two dozen requests were made, totaling $38.8 million.
State law directs the council to award its funds for acquisition, management and stewardship of state-owned lands or the preservation of state-owned historic sites, buildings, structures or objects.
The council also awarded $981,000 to the Arkansas House to restore two committee rooms and adjoining legislative offices. The funds would be for fiscal 2018, which starts in July.
