(This amendment provides $50,000 from the general fund in the second year to the Citizens United to Preserve the Greensville County Training School in order to help achieve the goal of the organization, which is to renovate the facility and provide a training center, a human social services center, and a heritage museum. This facility served the education needs of more than 5,000 Black students from its opening in 1929 until it closed in 1978 as a part of school consolidation.)
