| 摘要： | A museum in Marion, Ark., commemorating the worst maritime disaster in United States history-the burning and sinking of the steamboat Sultana-received $1 million in federal funding from the American Rescue Plan. The latest funding announcement was made July 19. For the museum to be eligible for the American Rescue grant, local authorities had to raise a $250,000 match. A small museum building has been open since 2015, but there are plans to build a larger one in downtown Marion. Last year, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchin-son dedicated $750,000 toward building the museum, which will cost an estimated $7.5 million to complete. A financing campaign has so far raised a $1 million pledge from Hartford Steam Boiler; a $1 million challenge grant from FedEx; a $1 million federal Economic Development Administration grant and a $250,000 contribution from Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge. |
