After more than 25 years of ministry, The Mix at Arbor Place has started a new chapter in its ministry to Southeast Lancaster City by opening a brand new state-of-the-art facility.
The old Arbor Place building, formerly the Siegel-Ansel Bag and Burlap Company, was demolished at the end of 2010, and the new building erected on the same property, officially opening in March 2012. Our Board of Directors selected Scenic Ridge Construction Company and Cornerstone Design/Architects to construct our new facility, designed to suit our needs and to alleviate paying thousands of dollars each year to repair the old building, which was literally falling down.
Our new facility on North Street is one of several revitalization projects that have recently taken place in the Southeast quadrant of the city. These projects will greatly enhance the neighborhood and will also increase demand on our facility and services. To name a few, the SACA (Spanish-American Civic Association) built 13 new housing units on our block of North and Locust Streets in 2011, and a new shopping center is being constructed on South Duke Street.
Our new building will enable us to provide expanded programs to an increasing number of youth. These programs will address their educational, recreational, spiritual, social, and nutritional needs, and will also create unlimited opportunities for partnerships and collaborations as we work together to make today’s youth tomorrow’s leaders.
Total Estimated Project Costs: $2.3 million
