THE EDGARMAY’s
EXPANSION PROJECT
Reimagining and revitalizing the historic Foundry Building and investing in our future.
The EdgarMay Expansion Project is designed to be a multi-purpose regional hub that will facilitate a thriving community by expanding childcare options, increasing access to recreation, and promoting preventative health services. To implement this vision, the EdgarMay is actively securing a $17 million funding package of private, state, federal, and nonprofit funding.
