The project will add units of housing to the site while transforming the existing armory into a community hub.

A flexible community facility, with the ability to host a range of activities for the neighborhood, such as farmers markets, movies and community meetings.
Office spaces are available for non-profit organizations, focusing on tutoring, counseling, educational services, cultural programming, and LGBTQ+ support services.
