A New Community Center
Since the beginning of our organization we’ve had a vision for a permanent space that can be used as a meeting and exhibit venue for promoting our mission of sharing the Lower Grand Coulee experience through arts and science education, exhibits and presentations. This space would be publicly available to other organizations with similar needs and purposes such as the Art Guild of the Soap Lake Area, Ice Age Floods Institute, Soap Lake Heritage, Soap Lake Conservancy, and Columbia Trails Association.
We have a restoration and usage agreement with the City of Soap Lake and a long-term lease. To date we’ve added a new roof, cleaned up some of the interior, refurbished exterior light fixtures and painted the front. The new roof was a critical maintenance step that will allow for a longer-term restoration project. Without that, the building would have been lost to disrepair.
