WEST BLOOMFIELD Greater West Bloomfield Historical Society Office and Activities Coordinator Cory Taylor recently said, “Feels like we’re moving forward into the 21st century.”
Her mindset was helped by a grant the GWBHS received in December, which among other things, helped pay for some new equipment.
The society applied for and received an Oakland Together Cultural Institution COVID-19 Support Grant through Oakland County.
