Invest in rural residents building their future

Dear Friend,

Thank you for being part of our rural community story. We are happy to provide you with this update. Thank you GlobalGiving for allowing us to share our project with a greater global audience.

The Tribune Building Project is centered around empowering our residents to have a voice in creating a vibrant hub of much needed economic growth for our community and surrounding area. Resident ideas are pointing us to a public market concept and our recent feasibility study has given us a green light.

Our current work includes:

• Pursuing a Public Market concept to expand entrepreneurial opportunities for an inviting resident and visitor experience in our downtown.
• Developing a full business plan for a public market in our downtown.
• Finding ways to utilize the building to highlight our beautiful riverfront.
• Expanding upon initial rooftop concepts for additional uses.
• Pursuing additional funding sources and grants.
• Connecting with diverse groups to create a place for authentic multi-cultural experiences.
• Partnering with experts who have years of success in bringing public market plans into reality.

Your continued support is vital to help our community make the Tribune project a reality. As a contributor to this campaign, you play a critical role in creating a bright spot in downtown Wisconsin Rapids. This will be a hub for entrepreneurial growth, multi-cultural collaboration and celebration, and a place to spark hope for a brighter future for our community and beyond.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we continue advancing, refining, and advocating for everything the Tribune stands for in creating a community that works well for all.

With much gratitude,
