What's Happened?
On June 10th, the Grand Coulee Area Chamber of Commerce sponsored a community meeting at the Senior Center in Grand Coulee so community people could take control and offer ideas to reduce poverty and improve the community for everyone.
The Horizons Project is moving into the Visioning phase. The article Community center meeting calls for another bigger one --Momentum builds for a new facility in the Star Online notes:
"The goal of the meeting is to gain an approval in principlel for the community center goal from as many facets of the community as possible.
Items up for discussion will include considering:
• what types of facilities should be included in the overall plan, such as a swimming pool/aquatic center, small convention facility, daycare, gym, skate rink,
• possible location sites,
• funding possibilities."
What's Happening?
Community members will address the ideas from the Action Forum and move forward with skills developed at Leadership Plenty to form partnerships (like with the Chamber of Commerce, Hospital, Government, etc.), form a 501c3, and apply for grants to achieve the community's vision.
Next week, Wednesday June 17 at 6:30 p.m. at the Grand Coulee Senior Center, come as a community member to take the next steps in moving towards a common vision for Nespelem, Elmer City, Coulee Dam, Grand Coulee, and Electric City.
