Linda Eagan, executive director, Fulton Block Builders, (FBB), was the featured speaker at the February 16 meeting of the Fulton Lions Club.
Eagan, and FBB volunteer Ann Casey, updated the Lions on the progress the organization has made since they began revitalizing Fulton neighborhoods in 2017, one block at a time. At the end of 2022, residents invested $624,000 in participating properties, bringing the total investment to $3.3 million since FBB started, she said. Following her presentation, Fulton Lions contributed $1,500 to the organization.
“We have supported Fulton Block Builders since they began,” said Brett Tallents, Fulton club president. “ Over the past six years, Linda and her teams have helped build neighborhood pride and made many improvements throughout the city, that has really made a difference in making our neighborhoods the best that they can be. We are extremely proud to support their fine work with our contribution.”
