GREENWOOD, MISS.
Greenwood architect Robin Henry is working with the Oprah Winfrey Foundation on developing a new Boys & Girls Club building in Kosciusko.
Henry, of the Johnson-McAdams Firm, said that without the generosity of Winfrey, a Kosciusko native, the project would probably not have gotten started.
Her foundation is providing funds for construction of the club, he said.
Henry said the 30,000-square-foot facility, which will accommodate up to 450 children daily, should be ready in January 2006.
The club will include an indoor basketball court, learning centres, music centre, library, arts centre and cafe, he said recently. It will be built on three hectares donated by the city of Kosciusko.
Henry said Winfrey’s personal chef, Art Smith, is donating appliances and utensils for the cafe, which also will be used as a teaching kitchen.
