Title: Ceremonial Groundbreaking for New Not-For-Profit Campus Held

Today we were joined by the Ames Regional Economic Alliance, The Arc of Story County, and Overflow Thrift Store as we held a ceremonial groundbreaking for the new not-for-profit campus we will be partnering with the two other agencies in. The project will convert the former JAX Outdoors buildings at 4803 and 4723 Lincoln Way into spaces reimagined to fit each agency's needs. Phase II of our project also includes a rec space which will be available to the community. Special thanks to Dan Culhane, President and CEO of the Ames Regional Economic Alliance and Lisa Heddens, Story County Supervisor, Arc of Story County Board Member and core member parent, for their inspirational words as we embark on this journey.
