The Rochester Chapter NRHS is pleased to announce that it was a recipient of a 2002 Railway Heritage Grant from the National Railway Historical Society totaling $3000.00! This grant will be used to fund in part the complete replacement of the roof on the Industry depot which is the cornerstone of the Chapter's Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. The original slate roof has been failing, and while our museum volunteers have taken great pains to restore and maintain the roof, we have determined complete replacement to be the best option. The work will be undertaken by a professional contractor selected by the Chapter. The Rochester Chapter would like to thank the NRHS for their generosity and continued support! We would also encourage interested parties to contribute to the NRHS and its Railway Heritage Grant Program. Since 1991, the NRHS has awarded 76 grants totaling $190,880 to 46 NRHS Chapters and 30 to non-NRHS organizations.
