WATCH FOR OUR MONTHLY YELLOW FLIERS

Northwest Signal Newspaper

Watch for our yellow informational flier in this week's paper (both

9/27 and 9/30) to learn more about our work and how you can support this effort which will benefit so many.

Our Mission is Two-Fold: To provide a variety of arts, education and community experiences that bring cultures together and enhance the lives of Henry County residents. Renovation of the historic former school building provides a modern hub to help house these activities with an updated auditorium, gym, classrooms, and spaces for events and meetings.

OUR VISION FOR RENOVATING THE old SCHOOL

What's at Stake

As of now, our only "real" indoor theater, the historic John L Johnson Auditorium, is in jeopardy of being demolished with no plan to rebuild. We believe the residents of Napoleon and surrounding communities deserve a vibrant place to live that includes a multi-purpose venue to gather year 'round and enjoy performances, events, athletics and educational opportunities. Read about The Plan.

Understand the Numbers

Experts were engaged to determine the cost to renovate the former school and the opportunities repurposing presented. While the building is architecturally unique and is in marvelous condition, the restoration is supported by our organization because the numbers make sense. And we want what's best for everyone in our community. Understand The Finances.

Revive our Local Economy

Rural communities benefit from restoration in big ways. Similar multi-purpose venues have opened in communities like Napoleon, boosting current businesses, attracting new ones, enriching the lives of residents and providing a reason for the next generation to stay. There are also staggering consequences of doing nothing. Know The Impact.

1. The controversy surrounding renovation of the former school is not complicated.

The City of Napoleon’s opposition to the Cultural Center of Henry County (CCHC) community center stems from its desire to obtain the 9.235 acres of CCHC property at virtually no cost and demolish the former school. To be clear, the City does not own nor control the property.

CCHC is opposed to the demolition because it is not in the best interest of residents. CCHC believes repurposing the former school into a multi-purpose venue will provide significant, immediate, community-wide benefits for current and future generations.
