— from Patsy Stephens —
The reconstruction of the Artworks Building is progressing well with Sound Construction working full time and full crew! The Artworks Cooperative and the James Hardman Gallery have signed letters of intent to return their businesses to the much loved and restored building. The re-opening is planned for early in the new year.
The Café Olga has opted not to return. This creates an opportunity for a new eatery. The Olga Strawberry Council is beginning its search for such a new tenant. Space in the building has been allocated for kitchen and dining. The layout of the kitchen can either be at the direction of the new tenant or provided by the OSC. As the building will not be ready for business until Jan. 2015, there is time for planning; however, the construction process requires that relevant kitchen design happen soon.
Interested parties should contact Patsy Stephens at 376-2599 or Madie Murray at 376-3371 or further information.
