Finally, movement!
Design work on the new Gays Mills Community Commerce Center, including the shared-use commercial kitchen we have been working for, will begin this week. Two of us from the Kickapoo Kitchen Project, Russell Gilbert and I, have been appointed to the committee that will design the center, which will also contain a new library, village offices and a new meeting hall. You can help us influence the kitchen design. Think of it this way . . . think about you could do in a $200,000 kitchen if it only cost you $15 an hour to use. If you have you zeroed in on any special needs -- for acidifying, baking, bottling, catering, chopping, cooking, dehydrating, distributing, freezing, labeling, licensing, packing, prepping, registering, storing, selling, or shipping a food product since last we communicated -- let us know. A lot of money will be spent on this project. If it's design does not meet your needs, a lot of money could be wasted. Brad
