Save the Block Campaign Looks For 1.5 Million

With the conclusion of the “Save the Block” campaign only ten days away, $1.5-million dollars still remains to be raised to save the historic Genevieve Block in downtown Jackson, which earlier this year was under threat of development from a 90,000 square foot hotel. Several anonymous donors have joined together to present the community with one final challenge to wrap up all aspects of fundraising in time for the campaign’s deadline. The challenge gifts totaling $1 Million are being leveraged for a last chance to Save the Block, under the stipulation that the project receives another 1,500 gifts by August 5th, to round out the total number of campaign gifts since April 2019 to 5,000. So far, The Jackson Hole Land Trust says that number is 4,000 donors who have participated in the drive.
