SHENANDOAH – The date and time are set for the groundbreaking of Downtown Shenandoah’s planned innovation center.
April 18 at 3pm, officials from Downtown Shenandoah, Inc. will break ground on the new facility at the former site of Davison’s Furniture and Thunder Road on North Main Street.
The groundbreaking will be at the rear of the site on Market Street.
A community meeting will follow at the A.P. Damato Post.
The center will be built in the 100 block of North Main Street, where Davison’s Furniture/Berks Thrift Store and Goodwill/Thunder Road stood until a massive fire destroyed the former and damaged the latter in 2006. Another fire destroyed Thunder Road for good in 2012.
The three story building will include a small business incubator on the lower level, as well as DSI offices, a commercial kitchen, job training offices, and a Penn State classroom on the first floor.
The first floor will be level with Main Street, while the lower level will be level with Market Street.
A community event center will be on the third floor.
