The Lopez Center for Community and the Arts has grown since the building was constructed in 1999. Over the last several years it has become apparent that the Center needs more space for equipment and supplies and to free up room for productions and events. The current metal storage units are failing.

Consequently, the LCCA board has approved a 24×36 storage structure to be located to the East of the Center near the mower shed. A paved walkway will connect the two buildings. The new facility will be completed by late spring 2014. Alvord-Richardson Construction has been chosen as the contractor.

“We are excited to finally have the necessary storage space for the Community Center,” said Assistant Director Robert Harrison.

There will be a silent auction for the existing metal storage units.

Funding for the project will come from the center’s endowment as well as community fundraisers.
