Our Future Communities Start Here

OPPORTUNITY: Create economic development in the downtown area with increased residential offerings and revitalized businesses. OBSTACLE: Utilizing limited resources to find a developer that believes in redevelopment in small cities. PREDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE: Linked leaders with developer, secured funding, and supported problem solving for project success. COMMUNITY PROGRESS: Positioned to complete the 30,000-square-foot Garden Building, featuring a versatile four-story structure with retail, dining, residential, office, and event spaces.

The recreational benefits are undeniable, but the Garden Building will be so much more than a fun hangout. It is projected to create upwards of 50 jobs and nearly 30 livable units, boosting the city’s economy in a way that will positively affect its residents.
