 <\/p>\n

\"\"The house north of the Floyd which is owned by SAHS had been long planned to be removed in hopes of expanding the historical society facilities to better serve our mission.\u00a0 Because of Covid19 our usual income generated from rentals at the Floyd Norgaard Cultural Center which were partially earmarked for this project were drastically diminished.\u00a0 \u00a0 Plans for removal of the house had to be put off once again.\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

Fortunately SAHS member, Les Anderson, was able to bring together the right businesses willing to help at the right time.\u00a0 \u201cThis house demolition donation will make it easier to expand in the future\u201d said Les Anderson, and is necessary because the Society wants to keep our options open for this property site.\u00a0 With so much potential created by freeing up this space, SAHS is appreciative of the donors business\u2019 Omni Contracting Solutions (Tim Murphy)<\/strong>, The United Group<\/a><\/strong>, and Lenz Enterprises<\/a><\/strong> for their commitment to our community and the Stanwood Area Historical Society.<\/p>\n

\"\"Another interesting thing about this project was that the materials were shipped down to the United Group Snohomish location for further processing and sorting into repurposed landscape or construction materials that will help beautify and build local communities just like Stanwood.<\/p>\n

These collaborating companies provided this work at no charge and have finally made it possible to plan for this space to be used to feature future historic exhibits. This dream includes a possible new building that has long been part of a strategic plan.\u00a0 The building would provide more space for our heritage projects and programs to preserve, interpret and enhance the community’s sense of identity through its past.\u00a0 To continue support for SAHS, please visit: https:\/\/www.sahs-fncc.org\/?page_id=40<\/a><\/p>\n
