We are still in the community and we are in a neighborhood, <br /> which is an exciting, new opportunity for us. <br /> It will be about a 13,000 square foot building on two floors and has spaces for performance, <br /> makerspaces, ceramics studios,fabric studios, classrooms, galleries, and all the basic functions <br /> we currently serve. <br /> About 50% of the land will not be developed and will remain as a natural park/buffer for us to <br /> do outdoor programming. <br /> We hope to break ground by early 2022 and be done by early 2023. <br /> Total budget is$6 million and we are half-way to goal. Gail Perry Associates is our fundraising <br /> consulting firm. We are in the process of hiring a capital campaign director and some <br /> fundraising staff and going from using consultants to bringing fundraising in-house. <br /> 2 Page CHOCVB BOD Meeting April 21 , 2021 <br />
