The new North Fayette Valley Community Coalition Youth Family Learning Center is taking shape and getting closer to becoming a reality every day. A groundbreaking ceremony was held Tuesday afternoon, June 28, though the structure is well past the groundbreaking stage and nearing completion. All of this was cause for celebration as a small group of dedicated supporters gathered at the site of the new building, located on the grounds of NFV Middle School near Elgin.
“Our estimated completion date is Aug. 30, which will allow the building to begin being used at the beginning of the school year. It has all happened pretty quickly once the work got started,” said Stacie Schroeder, NFVCC coordinator.
