About the funding request
After years of fighting to secure funds to rebuild the Pine Tree on Mosquito Beach – a fire nearly destroyed the first floor of the old building on April 15, 2022.
We URGENTLY need security cameras with night vision to make sure the property is not vandalized further, plus the ability to replace 28-floor joists destroyed in the fire. Fortunately, much of the historic wood was removed before the fire, but this type of timber used in the 1960s is very hard to locate – it was the “real deal”!
We were already working on tight budgetary constraints to rebuild the historic Pine Tree. We were able to secure grants to restore the building from National Park Service’s Civil Rights Grant in 2019, but the destruction caused by the fire will increase the cost of construction materials and increase the scope of work to complete the project. We need community funding to help secure the building and compensate for the loss of materials.
