We've starting packing up and preparing for the big office move to the historic First National Building at 501 West St. Germain Street. 

Beginning June 1st, we will be located at 501 West St. Germain Street, Suite 102.  The DTC will continue to office along with the Greater St. Cloud Development Corp. (GSDC), Suite 100.  The Initiative Foundation will also lease a space in the new (old?) digs, Suite 101. 

Preservation and restoration play a cultural role.  Old buildings teach us about the history that happened before we were born and promote the respect for those who live in different times and different societies.  Restoring old buildings such as the one we are moving in is as "green" as it can get; the ultimate form of recycling.  We are so grateful to be locating in such a beautiful structure, and for the contributions by the property owners to our local well being.  

What are you doing on May 12th?  The DTC is organizing our annual spring clean up; seeking 80 volunteers.

Shift 1 = 9:00am - noon
Shift 2 = 1:00 pm - 4:00pm

(lunch provided at noon for both shifts thanks to Coborn's)

All volunteers are asked to bring gloves and garden shovels.
