Either direction will cause consternation in the community. Remaining in the building will still have the challenge of addressing unmet needs in this location. A new location has many unknowns and be will also cause strain and stress for those we serve.  We continue to see an uptick in needs of seniors in the community as we work towards equitable outcomes for seniors across demographics in our population.  Reviewing the upcoming feasibility study will also impact our efforts to raise money for the future renovations knowing approximately half or more of our current CIP funds will go to renovating and restoring the exterior of our building.
