Norfolk Southern has awarded Flowery Branch with a grant of $50,000 which will be used to provide a cover for the town’s amphitheater.
“This incredible contribution will enhance our events, offering shade during sunny days and protection from unexpected weather,” a city Facebook posting said in announcing the grant. “We’re so grateful for their support in making Flowery Branch an even better place for our community to gather and celebrate!”
The railway’s line connecting New York with New Orleans runs through Flowery Branch.
ABOUT NORFOLK SOUTHERN’S GRANTS PROGRAM:
In 2023, Norfolk Southern launched two new, open-application grant programs. These programs are designed to support organizations that promote safe and sustainable operations, develop the local work force, and build strong, resilient communities in the 22 states where Norfolk Southern operates.
Applications for the Thriving Communities and Safety First Grants during the 2025 program year will open in April.
