The first spades of dirt were turned Thursday April 10th on the $1.7 million expansion of the Booker T. Washington Center in Hamilton. The rennovation will add 2,400 feet to the building, including a kitchen, 2 new classrooms, and rentable space for the community. Butler County provided one and a half million dollars of ARPA funding for the project. The rest came from block grant money, and donations. The last major renovation of the building was back in the 1980's.
