Possible downtown location

[Jacob Hansson]

Hey all,

I'm Jake, I was the guy with the macbook last thursday, I finally signed up for a membership :) (btw, the redirect back from PayPal to http://www.columbiagadgetworks.org/membership/successful 404s)

If you remember, I mentioned I talked to Stacey at REDI (cc'd) and that she was talking about Maker Spaces. I just talked to her again, and there seems to be a really cool opportunity here if you guys are interested. Nothing at all set in stone of course, but lots of possibilities.

Basically, the county owns a building on walnut across from the police station, and may want to make it available to be used as a maker space, and the city may have a small budget to push in. Meanwhile, REDI (which is a non-profit) is interested in making this happen since it fits their goal of helping new companies and job creation.

It's one of these buildings (not sure which exact one): https://www.google.com/maps/@38.952603,-92.330055,3a,75y,336.37h,81.75t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sOfy9UpcSBJP_6vAIfEMrcg!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DOfy9UpcSBJP_6vAIfEMrcg%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D100%26h%3D80%26yaw%3D120.82283%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656

If you guys are interested, it'd be much better if some of you met with Stacey directly, and you can find out for yourselves if there's good overlap / what the deal is :)

Hi Jake,

First off, thanks for the heads up about the site error. We're currently migrating servers and things can get lost in the mix.

I do remember you mentioning this opportunity and I certainly want to investigate if we can make some sort of partnership or somehow combine forces. I will take your advice and contact Stacey directly.

Thanks again, and welcome to the organization.

-Zach
