The Master Plan and Site Design for The Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center was made possible through a grant to the Graham Revitalization Economic Action Team (GREAT) from the NCFS Urban and Community Forest Program through the Community Design Assistance Center (CDAC) located at Virginia Tech.
CDAC worked with a stakeholders committee and the community, through community workshops, to develop an overall master plan for the 10 acre site. Project design includes enhancements to the existing 1/3 mile loop trail and playground, an outdoor restroom facility, a half basketball court, shuffleboard, picnicking areas with grills, tables, benches, and fire pits, horseshoes and/or corn hole, a wind garden and plantings that address storm water run-off.
The plan also includes cabinettes which could be used for overnight lodging or artist residences. Project implementation will begin this summer starting with the half basketball court, shuffleboard, wind garden and outdoor restrooms.
Some funding for these project elements has been secured, but the Center needs to raise additional funds for further plan implementation. Please consider making a donation today and help this special place grow. Your tax-deductible donation to the annual General Fund campaign will help meet the ongoing costs of operations and assure the continuation of the important programs at the Center.
