ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — Lincolnville’s Fountain of Youth Elks Lodge 684, located at 100 Washington Street, receives $891,932 for major repairs and renovations.
The City of St. Augustine Community Redevelopment Agency received the monies from the Florida African American Cultural and Historical Grants program to fund Lincolnville’s Community Redevelopment Area Institutional Rehabilitation Grant Program. Thanks to the government funding, Jamie Perkins with the city of St. Augustine said major renovations will be made to the building.
“The 891,000 plus dollar grant was a grant that I applied back in November of 2021. The funds were from the state of Florida,” says Perkins.
