Once complete, the brick will be cleaned and new mortar can be applied. Currently, only the top portion of the building is under restoration since the group is unable to fund the entire project. Miller said the entire restoration will cost approximately $80,000. The group is looking for ways to fund the approximately $70,000 it still needs to finish the restoration. Miller said there are plans to potentially use the building for fall activities and a podcast. More information about the building can be found at carnegiecenterofcorbin.org or on the groups Facebook page. Donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 114 Corbin, KY 40702 or made online on the group\u2019s website. &nbsp;"}
