Opinion250 News has another follow-up story on the results of the public meeting on Thursday:
IPG President Gerry Offet says CCV received more than 100 registration forms from those at the meeting either offering suggestions or willing to join a ’Friends of the Arts Centre’ steering committee, or both.Full article and comment thread here.
He says the initial strong show of support has been very gratifying. "I think the other part of it that I was really grateful for is that, while people were keen about the project, they also wanted to make sure that it was developed in such a way that it was going to be successful as an arts centre, first, and as an urban revitalization project, second, and we got that message loud and clear."
Offet expects to hold another public meeting in about one month’s time. An early goal is to establish a 12-person task force that will lead the charge in everything from determining user groups’ needs to securing funding for the future facility.
