Residents will know in the very near future the status of the fundraising efforts of the Badlands Community Facility.
The Badlands Community Facility opened last week, and resident have been streaming in to check out what the new facility has to offer. Groups and organizations have also been lining up to book dates for meetings and conferences.
During the construction, plans were to reveal the results of the fundraising drive when the facility opened. Chair of the Fundraising Committee, Jeff Hall, says they are planning an event, tentatively scheduled for May, to update the community and launch its local campaign.
“We are trying to come up with an event to unveil that (fundraising effort) and launch into the more community focus aspect of the campaign,” said Hall.
He said now that the facility is open and there is a positive buzz it should bolster its progress, and he is happy with the fundraising project thus far.
“As we enter the public phase we will be focusing on the $5,000 to $10,000 range,” said Hall, adding they are planning the logistics of this campaign.
“We have a few things to get the final touches to launch into this campaign,” said Hall.
