Hello Friends,
Sorry it been awhile since our last post, But we, The Historic Joplin Union Railroad Depot Historical & Preservation Society, got an idea from a follower who made comment on our Group page. We have gotten permission to use their idea and see how it will go.
The Idea is if everybody in the City of Joplin, pay at least $179.00 forward the restoration of the depot, the funding would be enough to cover all restoration and maintenance.
The Population of Joplin in 2025 is 54,053, if we can get everyone to give $179.00 toward the restoration of the Depot...
54,053 x $179.00 = $9,675,487.00
Our Plans call for $6 - 6.7 million for restoration of The Depot
and setting up our Railroad Etc... will be around $100,000.00
with all this the cost will be around $6,100,000 - 6.800,000 million.
So, if we can get $9,675,487.00, that will well over enough funding.
Thanks,
The Historic Joplin Union Railroad Depot Historical & Preservation Society
