Thank you to everyone who joined us for the open house. We were thrilled by the turnout and encouraged by the support, questions, and thoughtful ideas shared about the future of this property. Hearing possibilities ranging from office and event spaces to community gathering areas and educational outreach reinforced how much potential this site holds. As many of you saw and discussed, we’re still in the early stages—addressing important behind-the-scenes work like the removal of former gas tanks from the old store, environmental remediation, and structural assessments. These foundational steps are critical as we honor the building’s layered history and thoughtfully plan what comes next. Your input helps shape that path forward, and we look forward to continuing the conversation as this place evolves.
