Downtown Shenandoah, Inc. has been awarded a $500,000 state grant to support their efforts to build an innovation and event center, known as the Center for Education, Business, & the Arts (CEBA).
The announcement was made by Senator David G. Argall (R-29), Rep. Elect Dane Watro (R-116), and Rep. Tim Twardzik (R-123).
The center is planned to be built in an empty lot across from the Downtown headquarters in the 100 Block of North Main Street in Shenandoah and offer programming, training, and mentorship for budding entrepreneurs and small business owners at a blighted downtown site which has been vacant for many years. The center will also provide spaces for makers and artists, a business incubator, community event space, culinary makerspaces, a community computer, and a conference room.
