Growing a Vision for Cashiers
Written By: - NONE - | Issue: 2018/08 - August
The Village Green is constructing a cultural events and activities building in Cashiers adjacent to the The Village Green Commons on Frank Allen Road. The Village Green has been conducting a capital campaign to raise funds for construction of the multi-use year-round facility. So far, $2.5 million has been raised toward the project with a campaign goal of $3.5 million.
There are several opportunities for public participation in Growing a Vision for Cashiers. One of these will be a community “timber raising.” Village Green Executive Director Ann Self says that, “We will have an event where people can help put a segment of the building timbers together.” A date for this event will be announced later. Other events will include two public informational forums in August as well as a tour of construction progress at certain points.
The Village Green is the privately conserved park that is the principal public place inCashiers, hosting more than 100 planned events each year, including the popular concert series Groovin’ On the Green, the Village Nature Series and Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival.
However, weather and climate limit potential benefit to the community for year-round use. The Village Green realized the tremendous value an expanded indoor gathering space would add to the already popular park. The facility will host an array of events such as civic forums, musical and theatrical performances, educational programs and religious services.
“It will be a valuable experiential and educational center,” says Self. “We are committed to creating a space that will be transformational as we continue to bridge diverse populations in the heart of our community.”
