Exciting News for Destination Cleveland County!

The Earl Scruggs Center: Music & Stories of the Carolina Foothills receives 1.5 million dollar grant!
Energies and excitement are running high in the community upon hearing the news that the Economic Development Administration (EDA) has awarded a $1,543,000 grant to The Earl Scruggs Center: Music & Stories of the Carolina Foothills. This investment brings total raised to approximately $6.8 million of the estimated $9 million needed to cover both The Don Gibson Theatre and The Earl Scruggs Center. When you consider the positive impact projected by a Gardner Webb Godbold School of Business study ($180 million over 10 years) it is clear this is a good investment!

Thanks to the EDA and to everyone that had a hand in making this happen!
