MOULTON, Texas – The outdated kitchen at the Moulton Community Center soon will receive a much-needed overhaul to create a safer, more welcoming and more energy-efficient meeting space, thanks to a $4,358 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority.

The LCRA Community Grant will help the City of Moulton install a new commercial refrigerator, oven and stove top, sink, microwave and ceiling fans in the community center. The facility’s current appliances were installed when the building was constructed in 1990 and no longer operate properly.

The center serves as a gathering place for residents and is available for rent for special events. The center also sometimes serves as a cooling station during periods of intense heat and is available at no charge to nonprofits and charitable groups for community activities.

“The community center is used quite often by our residents, so we are very excited to provide these needed updates,” said LuAnn Rogers, Moulton city administrator. “The new appliances will be a huge asset to the center and hopefully attract more events.”

The oven currently in the center is no longer functional and the refrigerator no longer cools properly, limiting the center’s ability to host events. With new reliable appliances, the center will be able to host more public events, educational programs, senior citizen activities, youth programs, emergency response operations and community celebrations.

“If we had not been awarded this grant, we would have had to wait a lot longer to make any upgrades,” Rogers said. “The City of Moulton is grateful for this grant and the support for our community.”

This is one of 43 grants awarded recently through LCRA Community Grants. These grants are awarded twice a year as part of LCRA’s effort to give back to communities in its wholesale electric, water and transmission service areas.

Applications for the next round of grants will be accepted in January. More information is available at www.lcra.org/grants.
