City Approves move to the Mendel


It's Official!!
Mendel
With a unanimous vote at the August, 21 City Council meeting, Councillors voted to approve the CDM to be the next tenant of the Mendel building when the Art Gallery vacates in 2016.

In addition to approving the CDM to be the next tenant, the City also approved $25,000/year in annual grants, and $70,000/year for an annual programming partnership.

While there is still a lot of work and planning to be done, the CDM Board and Staff are all thrilled to finally say "Yes! We are moving to the Mendel Building!!".
