The University Cultural Center Association recently received funding for the development of a second community garden in the Art Center neighborhood.  A lead grant has been secured from the McGregor Fund, in addition to the Americana Foundation and First American Title.  Construction for the garden begins in April, with planting scheduled for May and June.

The McGregor Fund is a private foundation organized "to relieve the misfortunes and promote the well-being of mankind." It was established by a $5,000 deed of gift from Tracy W. McGregor in 1925. Later it was augmented to nearly $10 million through subsequent gifts from Mr. McGregor and his wife, Katherine Whitney McGregor.
