Northport Community Center Update

Friday June 5th we had a community meeting at the CE Bldg in Northport. In attendence was the NCPR Board, Town Council and Mayor, Ecliptixnet, Builder and Electrician, and community members. Ed Nichols facilitated the meeting. Ed presented the obstacles we are encountering with the school site. Out of the $97,250.00 we have to build we would need to put in septic and electrical, that would leave us with approximately $85,000.00 to build. Several builders were contacted and none felt they could build the building for that amount. At the meeting Art and Nina Grobben generously volunteered a site on main street that we could remodel. After much discussion, everyone voted unanimously to proceed with the new site. Sign up sheets were available for volunteers to donate time to the project. A walk through is scheduled for Monday, June 15th. For more information contact Art Grobben at 675-5063 or 732-0443.
