We chose this historical building for our project this year because of its significance in the early settlement and development of this area, said DeLynn Fielding, manager of Zions Banks branch locations in Price. As in past years, the homes for this years were selected with the assistance of state housing agencies, community organizations and local churches. In addition to painting, Zions employees will provide yard clean-up- , pruning, mowing, planting, and minor repairs as needed. The cost for all paint and supplies is contributed by Zions Bank. Local paint suppliers will be providing the paint and supplies for the project.
