Washington D.C. – West Branch Township will be able to proceed with plans to renovate a portion of former Sawyer Air Force Base thanks to a newly awarded grant. The $50,000 comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Child Initiative, and will be used to renovate a portion of the Sawyer fitness center to provide child care services to area residents. The facility will include new lighting, doors, floor covering, an outdoor playground and accessible restrooms.
