The PRPA has been awarded a Preserving Oregon Grant by Oregon State Parks and Recreation! This grant is dedicated to building 18 (out 0f 51) superheater units. This fabricating the various bends, bifurcates and other components of a superheater unit, and then welding and assembling them, making them ready for installation. The grant award is for $20,000 and work for this sub-project began in July.

We greatly appreciate this award, and give thanks to the State of Oregon for their support of the SP&S 700. The 700 qualified for this grant through its status as a National Historic Place.

Also required is a match in the form of additional donations and grants from others, as well as volunteered labor from PRPA crew members and other volunteers from our sister organizations within ORHF.

Because it’s a matching grant, we need our friends and people like you to demonstrate their support for this monumental cultural and historical project.
