SALISBURY, N.C. — A local HBCU is getting the largest donation in its history.
Livingstone College in Salisbury has accepted a $7 million donation. Over the last seven months, it has also accepted seven separate $1 million donations.
The most recent donation is the single largest in Livingstone's history, but also one of the largest gifts to a private HBCU.
The money will be used for renovations on two residence halls and a dining hall as part of the "Miracle on Monroe Street: Livingstone College Reimagined" infrastructure project. Renovations will also start on two additional residence halls, which are more than 50 years old.
