After a full year of listening to our community, we unveiled our master plan in May 2025. The plan includes a four-phased approach to building and programming on-site. Phase Zero began in June 2025 and is focused on a coordinated philanthropic and capital campaign. We anticipate being publicly accessible in some capacity in 2028.
