Lets get to work!
…. Thank you to The Village Board for unanimously selecting our proposal for the revitalization of the depot. We are humbled by the choice, and excited for what is to come.
In the background, we have been building out our team, making plans, discussing, finding holes, making new plans. Rinse and Repeat. Dig a little deeper. Its all coming together.
You will see us out on site over the next few weeks, rain or shine. Taking measurements, seeing how it feels, watching the seasons change. Please feel free to come and say hello! We are as excited as can be, and would love to hear from you.
More news to come, hopefully with pictures.
Cheers,

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who came out Monday 10/21 to hear the presentations and have your opinions heard. Here is the link for the recording. While it is of course all important, the presentations start around the 40 min mark. There is a lot of detail in our presentation about the building and I want to make sure it gets shared (for those in the room, it was hard to see). The Depot is a wonderful building, and the passion of this community will take care of it, whoever it lands with.
Look forward to next steps!
