CEBA, The Center For Education, Business & Arts is moving forward with plans to build a brand new innovation center on Main Street in Shenandoah that will benefit everyone in Schuylkill County and the surrounding area. CEBA is a co-working space where entrepreneurs and community members can acquire affordable education, space, and resources they need to start and grow their business. This much-needed facility will positively impact the economic landscape in our region.
The COVID 19 pandemic affected the momentum of fundraising and program development but DSI management continued to proceed with robust fundraising and grant writing efforts and is well underway to begin the second phase of this exciting project.
Multiple focus groups were held providing positive feedback and confirmed that our community is "all in." and excited about the positive impact CEBA will bring to our area. The latest focus group, held on September 29 at Mountain Valley Golf Club shared the results of interviews from multiple community members about the center's future design including a culinary kitchen, coffee shop, and event space.
But there is still so much to accomplish and you can help!
CEBA is a community-wide effort and we need your financial support. Thanks to community donations, grants, and funding, to date more than $240,000 has been raised and contributions are arriving daily.
Please be a part of this exciting project that will lift up the entire community and be the catalyst for positive growth. Every dollar counts! Your dollar counts! Donate today.
