Representatives from Mecklenburg County Government recently presented a check for $125,000 to the Save Siloam School Project. The donation will help the ongoing campaign to preserve and move the Siloam School from its current location on West Mallard Creek Church Road to the Charlotte Museum of History on Shamrock Drive.
