The ranked table close: every documented major gift, ranked

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

The leg closes with its table, as the checklist directs — short, because the record is short, and complete at the record's strength.

Expressly excluded from the table, with reasons: the 2016 Palmer purchase of the same school building (a purchase, per the tourism-board carrier; lk-civ-donations); the Continental acquisition of Hoosier Racing Tire, 2016 (a sale; the eight-figure article above); the water tower's grant, county ARPA and SRF bond, and the fire station's $500,000 OCRA grant (public money, separated from giving in the banked article and kept separated here); and the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarships of the two counties (statewide programme money administered by the foundations — a pupil's award, not a gift to this town). Nothing else at major size was found in any carrier reached; the table ends where the record ends.
