Cultural Center

Cultural Center

The purpose of these pages are to share with you our dream of a center for our foundation and all of the advantages this facility will provide to the encouragement and celebration of our ethnic diversity.

THE FIRST FLOOR:

The foundation plans to develop a grand entrance to the facility to communicate a visual and sound experience to the visitor. The entrance will communicate passion, warmth and excitement. Stores and shops on the first floor are planned. A full directory will be presented. A separate directory for the commercial tenants will also be installed.

OFFICES AND ADMINISTRATION:

The foundation will require some office space for operational and administrative activity. The plan calls for the construction of a number of offices to be leased to other Italian American organizations. Groups such as Fieri, Order Sons of Italy, JCCIA, or the Justinian Society may be allowed to lease permanent or shared office space. Organizations will be offered space so long as they meet general, not for profit, status, or are governmental.
