Governor Ernie Fletcher presented Tamarlane Industries with a check for $1 million on May 25, 2006. The money was part of a Community Development Block Grant applied for by the Ohio County Fiscal court on Tamarlane's behalf. The money will be used to refurbish the existing building which houses the Tamarlane operations. Kevin Perry has been chosen as the architect to oversee this project.

The first phase will be to repair the roof; 2nd phase electrical upgrade; 3rd phase remodel the bathrooms.

Tamarlane wants to thank Governor Ernie Fletcher and his staff for awarding us this money for these much needed improvements, and for taking time to tour the facility, meet the employees and sign autographs. We would also like to thank the Ohio County Fiscal Court, Ohio County Industrial Foundation, Deanna Sanderfur and everyone involved in this process for their generosity and continued support for Tamarlane.

Tamarlane would not be possible without the support of its community.
