The Park Inn Rehabilitation
Golden Opportunity, Grave Challenge
Wright on the Park announces a $7,500,000 Vision Iowa grant it received from the Iowa Department of Economic Development for work on Wright's Park Inn and City National Bank in Mason City. The Vision Iowa grant is double-edged: while providing a great financial boost, it carries a 180-day deadline. Counting from the day after the grant announcement (March 12), a match of $4,300,000 must be raised for this grant.

New Hope for Charnley Cottage
Thanks to the ceaseless efforts of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, there is reason to hope that the Charnley Cottage in Ocean Springs, Mississippi may have a new life. In August, 2005, this historic property was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina. As reported in the Conservancy's Bulletin and on SaveWright.Org there was a very real likelihood that the surviving structure would be torn down by FEMA if a buyer willing to undertake restoration could not be immediately found.
