The city and Carbondale Main Street will host an open forum to discuss how to best utilize the S. Washington space for future events. This was were most of the Shadowfest Concerts were held and the city would like to turn it into more of a permanent event and concert venue:
Carbondale Main Street is partnering with the City of Carbondale and Southern Illinois University Architecture to host a design charrette from 2-6pm on Tuesday March 6, focusing on the Washington Street event venue (a venue utilized at Shadow Fest and other recent events).
"We are looking for community input on how the space will be used, how a permanent stage might work, and what would be beneficial assets to have in this space for the community to use”, says Meghan Cole, Executive Director for Carbondale Main Street. “The City of Carbondale has demonstrated a readiness to invest in this downtown event venue, and we are happy to help get community support and impact the development of this venue”.
“The School of Architecture, its faculty and students look forward to engaging community members in this participatory community event for the betterment of our City. This is a great opportunity to embrace what our creative design community can accomplish together”, says Craig Anz, Architect and Faculty at SIUC. Dr. Anz is also the Vice President of Carbondale Main Street. Students and faculty from SIU Architecture will be on hand, with Carbondale Main Street and City of Carbondale staff, to help gain community support. Anyone interested in providing feedback is urged to attend the charrette, have a snack, and learn about plans for the venue. To learn more, call the Main Street Downtown Design Center at 618-529-8040.

Scott, My comment is not on this story, but to find out how one is able to reach you via the Gazette. I wanted to find out if you're aware of the work being done to the previously owned Doctor Donuts building on New Era Road. A new roof has been put on and other work is being done on the property.
ReplyDeleteYes, I had noticed that. Thanks. I see work is also being done on the old Veach Short Stop behind University Mall.
