Repurposing Updates:
Wisconsin Rapids Service Center – We have developed a program vision with a focus on Environmental Studies. In the coming months we will transition the current Service Center to program space. The new space will accommodate troop meetings, overnights and the day camp office/store.
Green Bay Service Center – We have developed a program vision for the Green Bay area with a focus on STEM. We are currently looking for collaborative opportunities within the Green Bay area to deliver this programming. Any gaps in delivery will be taken into consideration when determining the remodel of the existing service center or the building/leasing of an alternative space. Meanwhile, we are looking at expanding the existing retail after March 1, 2012.
