Dear Community Members,

We are committed to sustainable development and community revitalization as we are transforming a former religious institution into a dynamic, multi-use space for adults over the age of 21.

No Religious or Political Affiliation

First and foremost, it's important to clarify that this building no longer has any religious or political affiliation. Our goal is to create an inclusive space that welcomes every member of our community, regardless of their background or beliefs. We believe in the power of neutrality to foster a sense of belonging and unity.

A Space for Community Input and Collaboration

We are still in the planning stages and eagerly seeking your feedback to shape this project. We want to know what you feel has been missing in our town. Whether it's a business incubator, a co-working space, or a venue for multi-generational and inter-generational gatherings, your input is invaluable. This is your opportunity to voice your needs and desires for a space that can truly serve our community.

Features and Benefits

One of the key features we envision for this space is a temperature-controlled, climate-controlled environment where local business owners can come together. This will be a hub for sharing ideas, creating content, and brainstorming innovative solutions. Imagine a place where entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals can collaborate, network, and support each other in a comfortable and conducive setting.

Adaptive Reuse as a Model for Revitalization

Our project aims to serve as a model for other communities facing similar challenges. By repurposing existing structures, we can address the need for non-traditional means of redevelopment. This approach not only benefits our local economy but also ensures that future generations have a vibrant and historical community to call home. Preserving the past while innovating for the future is at the heart of our mission.

Inclusivity and Diversity

We are committed to making sure every single member of our community feels they have a voice, regardless of income, race, or age. Inclusivity is not just a goal but a guiding principle. We believe that a diverse and engaged community is a strong community, and we want this new space to reflect that.

Your Voice Matters

As we embark on this journey, we invite you to share your thoughts and ideas. What do you believe is missing in our town? How can this new space serve you better? Your feedback will directly influence the final design and function of the space, ensuring it meets the needs of our vibrant community.

Join us in reimagining what our town can be. Together, we can create a space that not only revitalizes our community but also sets a precedent for sustainable and inclusive development.

Stay tuned for upcoming town hall meetings and feedback sessions where you can share your ideas and get involved in this exciting project.

Thank you for being a part of this transformative journey.
