construction

The new construction phase of Groundworks’ capital project began on May 6, 2020 after the Governor’s stay-at-home restrictions were relaxed to allow a few construction workers on site.  As the delayed construction start has shifted the project’s overall timeline, we are unsure when to expect to open the new building.  We will post updates here as new information becomes available. The final phase of this project will be the renovation of 60 South Main Street—our existing Drop-In Center—for which we continue to raise funds.

Groundworks announced plans Monday morning outlining the future of the construction site adjacent to Groundworks Drop-In Center.  In an effort that will cost $3.3 million—for which Groundworks has already secured over $2.2 million in committed funds—the nonprofit provider of services to the region’s citizens experiencing homelessness will build a roughly 5,000 square foot building to permanently house the Seasonal Overflow Shelter (SOS).
