Fairhope, Alabama
FLYING CREEK NATURE PRESERVE
Fairhope-based Watershed Llc. was selected for the architectural services to convert the old Dyas family homestead into a nature center with support services for the new park (NTE $48K).
Early assessments indicate the roof badly needs repairs first, then the residence will be converted into a commercial nature center with offices, public restrooms, classrooms, etc. -- and brought up to current disability access standards. (Estimated cost is about $500K.)
Furnishings, signage, and landscaping could come later as a separate package according to architect Rebecca Bryant.
Additional grant money may be available for funding, according to the mayor.
