During 2010, Warner Christian

Academy received a CRA

Façade Improvement Grant in

the amount of $15,000 which

was leveraged with $84,000 of

their own funding. The grant

funds were used in part to

complete painting of their

campus buildings including the

main building fronting our US1

corridor in our redevelopment

district. This simple

improvement project has made

a dramatically positive impact

to this main commercial

corridor in our CRA.
