$75,000 Grant Awarded to Colvin Run Mill

The final tally is in and the Colvin Run Mill finished fourth in the Partners in Preservation contest.

A $75,000 grant was awarded to help fully restore Colvin Run Mill!

The top four places were (in order) The National Cathedral, Mount Vernon, The 6th and I Street Synagogue and your own Colvin Run Mill.

This great accomplishment wouldn’t have happened without participation from the entire community. Thanks to all who voted for this Fairfax County treasure!
