Members raise alarm as local music venue building goes up for sale

Committee members flagged a potential loss of local cultural space after learning the building that houses a small performance venue is on the market. "It's up for sale," one member said, and participants discussed whether collective, community-based purchase or fundraising could keep the space in local hands.

Members suggested inviting the venue owner to a future meeting to understand constraints and discussed examples of other communities raising funds to retain culturally important properties. No formal action was taken at the meeting; the group agreed to follow up and try to make contact with the owner and explore community options.
