Debated
Leslie reported good construction progress with interior work underway, and said a committee tour would be arranged once things are more complete. The parking lot is running slightly behind, potentially affecting the grand opening date; programming could begin within a few months and Leslie invited committee input on what to offer. Community groups are already inquiring about the space, which includes a large event room suitable for weddings and banquets, two smaller classroom spaces, and a large warming kitchen. The July 11 centennial event — which may double as a grand opening — is contingent on parking lot completion.
Decided
Informational only; committee tour planned once construction advances further.
