The Building
Building Renovations are in process. Mike Compton Construction and Phoenix Mechanical are working with us.
Our budget expanded over the covid years from around $120K to $150K or so, plus about $10K for the security system.
When we started fundraising in 2018, we had about $7K in the bank. By the end of 2019, we had about $90K in the bank, and Covid-19 just kind of shut us down for most of 2020-2021.
We kicked back in gear w/Fall 2021 and the Food Truck, and continued our fundraising efforts.
Building permits were applied for in April 2022, and finally issued in Dec 2022.
Renovations started January 2023.
- We are bringing the electric up to commercial standards in about 1/2 of the building.
- We are updating 3 ingress/egress exits to ADA standards.
- We are updating 2 exit ramps to ADA standards
- We have added two handicap accessible bathrooms with showers.
- We have added laundry facilities.
We will still need help with flooring and painting (but not covering up original art on the walls.)
