Why this matters

The expensive decision comes later.

A permanent space means rent or purchase costs, build-out, flooring, paint, furniture, computers, displays, storage, security, insurance, utilities, and operating overhead. The responsible path is to prove community support before taking that leap.

We are not asking people to believe in a building. We are asking people to help build a community.

If the community shows up, the building decision becomes clearer.
