$450,000 Allocated To Support Glide Revitalization Center Project
A $450,000 state funding allocation will support renovations at the Glide Revitalization Center, expanding access to child care, community space, library resources, social services and other programs intended to serve rural residents in and around Glide.
GLIDE, Ore. — A $450,000 state funding allocation is expected to help move forward renovations at the Glide Revitalization Center, a project aimed at expanding community services in rural Douglas County.
According to a March 10 announcement, the funding was included in House Bill 5204 and will support improvements to the Glide Revitalization Center, a nonprofit facility in Glide that serves as a hub for local programs and resources.
Organizers say the renovated center is intended to provide space for a range of services, including affordable child care through Little Loggers, office and community space, library resources, and access to social service partners. The project is also expected to support youth development efforts, disaster case management, continuing education opportunities and economic development initiatives.
Glide Revitalization Executive Director Jeanna Beam said the funding will help transform the facility into a stronger community resource for the rural area.
The investment comes as many rural communities continue looking for ways to expand access to child care, educational support and centralized services. Supporters of the Glide project say the center is designed to meet several of those needs in one location.
The funding is expected to help advance the next phase of the renovation effort and improve long-term access to services for residents in and around Glide.
