This space is also used extensively for community events such as the Jazz Festival, Bellefonte Victorian Christmas, wedding receptions and class reunions generating a little income.

 

APS Renovations - Phase Four 2007-2008

2007/2008 – Phase 4 consists of renovation of four more buildings and an additional roof. This provides space for one of our tenants to expand their space and facilities to house the Headsville, West Virginia post office on loan from the Smithsonian Institution which allows us to have a contract post office and cancel our own mail.

This phase also provides infrastructure necessary to allow the remaining space to be leased to additional tenants.
