Good news is we have been awarded a $100,000 grant! Bad news is the new expenses to rebuild the exterior after waiting 18 months and paying for the exterior work to get done is an additional $250k. This was not in our original budget. We actually looked into a tear down price for perspective and that would be roughly $130k. We are not going to tear down the building! Please pray we are able to continue to find solutions to the problems that arrise with our project. This is a project that I wanted to do knowing it would be hard (I didn't know it would be this hard 😅) I want to see our dream come to life. I'm not afraid to try something new. I'm dying to open our doors to all the people intrested in the history of the bank, Bonnie and Clyde, and want to unwind with a glass wine and slice of pie! The downstairs will be Ruthie's Parlor Pie and Wine Bar and upstairs with be an Airbnb called Bonnie and Clyde Hideout. Please like and share our page to follow along on this wild ride!
