Ownership of the Federal Building was obtained by the City and County of Greenwood in 2002 through the US Department of Interior National Parks Service Federal Lands to Parks Program. The City and County of Greenwood entered into a concessions agreement with the Greenwood Arts Council for the public use of the property. The Greenwood Arts Council led the development of the Emerald Triangle Capital Campaign Project to raise the funding for renovations to the Federal Building. The Self Family Foundation was the lead donor providing over $1.75 million dollars of the renovation budget.
