Hello to our community!
We took a break on updates for a couple of weeks and now we've certainly got updates to share. Our program director has been meeting with community partners and is excited about potential new tenant organizations and the possibility of a new partnership with the University of Rhode Island. Next week, we'll invite our tenant organizations to come visit the Florence Gray Center to check in on the renovations. This is part of our "Program Committee" meeting series that will help the tenant organizations come together as a cohesive team when we all re-enter the building. Our intention is to build an environment that best serves our community and has a robust, diverse programming menu.
Now for some of the construction progress

We're looking forward to sharing updates once a week again. We hope to meet you here next week!
