Who is paying for the restoration and development of the Simon Center?
The money to complete this project is being raised from grants from foundations, corporations and local businesses, and also from donations from residents and private individuals interested in economic development and historic preservation. The City of Brenham and Washington County both contributed seed money to help get the project off the ground. Those dollars were investments in the economic development of this community, and will perpetually return to the city and county in the form of sales tax revenue and hotel occupancy tax dollars.
