Goodwin Memorial AME Zion Church - Capital Needs, Archaeology Study and Planning
Amherst
42191
8
The Church requests funds to perform a comprehensive Capital Needs Assessment. This will provide information regarding issues of soundness, safety, building codes, energy conservation, and accessibility that the Church needs for short and long-term planning. A Capital Needs Assessment is also a requirement for other grants and historic preservation funding that the Church will pursue. An archaeological study of the site would be done as well. This Church is historically significant as a center of community and cultural and religious life for many African Americans in the area since 1910. The church is on the National and State Registers of Historic Sites. Key issues that the church needs these funds to address in order to preserve the structure and its function as an ongoing center of culture and religious life include drainage issues and accessibility, which require archaeological survey work to be done before any such work takes place.
