Project Overview
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to connect to one’s community is greater than ever. Our vision for the Norwich Grange Hall addresses this need – by providing a place where people of all income levels, ages, backgrounds, and tenure in Norwich and the Upper Valley – can come together as one. To accomplish this vision, the restored Norwich Grange Hall will serve as an inclusive gathering place– hosting crucial community-building activities and services.
Goals
· To create a thriving community center in a renovated, accessible, energy-efficient building that retains the historic character of the Grange—a space where residents and other local groups can gather for meals, celebrations, performances, and other events that build community.
· To create a self-sustaining space which will allow the Norwich Community Collaborative to thrive and care for this building going forward.
· To create an organization that will serve as a hub for Norwich’s nonprofits and volunteer organizations, improving communication, increasing volunteerism, and supporting collaborations.
