The Falls on the Colorado Museum soon will double its usable space as part of a major reno - vation project, thanks in part to a $25,000 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) and Pederna - les Electric Cooperative (PEC).
The LCRA Commu- nity Development Part - nership Program grant will be combined with more than $216,000 in matching funds from the museum to help restore the museum's historic building, the former Old Granite School, and pre serve a local landmark that has served the Marble Falls area for years.
"We're restoring the original look of the building, so it's going to look more like the original building, in addition to being more functional,” said Amanda Seim, museum chair. “At the same time, this is not just about preserving the building, it's about expanding our capacity. There are so many peo - ple that come through and say they went to school here or taught here, and it's wonderful that the building is put to use in such a meaningful way. This renovation is going to help us enrich the lives of the people in Marble Falls.”
