The Selma Rosenwald School was built in 1924. It is currently used as a community center and meeting facility.
The funds will be used to re-open the original entrances and replace two doors that have been removed from the building; to replace windows and siding; and to paint the exterior of the structure.
Upon completion, the building will continue to function as a community center and meeting facility. It will also be the site of the 2009 All-School Reunion and a small library is slated to be installed summer of 2009.
The project will be managed by the Southeast Arkansas Rescource Conservation and Development Area, Inc.
