The federal TIGER grant was awarded, and the South Park Bridge did not receive funding.

That means we are staying in South Park at the old County Line building for the forseeable future. I spoke with bridge project manager Tim Lane this morning and he doesn't know the timeline on the bridge, or the fate of our building, and he was off to a meeting about those very subjects.
Even if the county is tearing down the bridge, there's no need to tear our building down, so I suspect that we may be there as long as we like. The county is supposed to take ownership of our property at the end of the month, and almost all of the boats and boat people have moved out of our back yard. So we will need to negotiate a (cheap) lease with the county, or just squat it out, after this month.
And then, we'll have to start dreaming and fundraising the future of the Cannabis Resource Center. Set your mind's dial for brain storm!
