In this special coffee chat, we share the news of our biggest milestone yet: successfully raising $2.8 million to fund the project.

Join us as we discuss the balance between celebrating this moment and preparing for the real work ahead. We cover our immediate next steps, from value engineering the construction budget to building community partnerships, and reflect on how the process of speaking with investors stress-tested our plan and ultimately made our vision stronger.

This is a transparent look at the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next.
