The Greenville Beautification Committee is working to preserve Prevost Hall, with restoration of the stain glass windows.  Long term, the town and GBC are working to create a community center in the historic building. 

The building is open to use by the community.  CPOG organizes events in Prevost Hall.  Other groups are encouraged to plan events in the Hall; contact the Town Supervisor or Maintenance for approval.

GBC also helps the town by writing grants.   Volunteer grant writers are welcome.
