The goal for this project is to create an experience showcasing the past, present, and future of the Gifford Community. There is a wealth of information about the history of Gifford. The challenge and objective of this grant is to create signage and other materials that capture this history, while at the same time bringing the story of the community through time to present bright concepts for future community planning. This project is geared towards reaching youth, and through this outreach fostering pride, stewardship and an appreciation of community. Each of the five locations included in this grant provide a different story about the history of Gifford. Working with community leaders, the Indian River County Historical Society, and other available resources, the County plans to create signage, video, and brochures that will present the historic information, and will create linkage between the various locations. Photos of the sites, as well as a map depicting their location relative to each other, have been included with this application. The largest array of signage is planned for MLK Park. The interior of the Park has a small trail (photo included). The "Tour Through Time" will be showcased along this trail. A series of signs will be produced based on a pivotal events, community leadership, and other milestones that present the story of the Gifford Community, from inception to the present. These signs will have both narrative and photography designed to engage readers with interesting and informative facts and events. MLK Park includes the Macedonia Church and the nearby Gifford Sundial Marker adjacent to the Gifford Middle School. Signage along the MLK Trail will showcase these, and other important historical sites in Gifford. Victor Hart Park is located to the northwest of MLK Park. The Gifford Youth Achievement Center, and other community recreational facilities are located within this Park. This grant will provide for the creation of additional signage within the park highlighting community leaders and the heritage of Gifford. There are three baseball fields within Victor Hart Park. Signage in proximity to these fields will link the history of Gifford and Dodgertown, which is part of the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Signage planned for the Jackie Robinson Training Complex will link the history of a time when players could not be housed there, and were forced to stay with friends or family in nearby Gifford. As there are many youth programs conducted annually at this Complex, it is one of the goals of this grant to expand the story of Dodgertown and Jackie Robinson with signage including the story of Gifford.
