Thea Bowman House in Utica, NY, held a groundbreaking ceremony on April 3 to kick off the installation of a new elevator at its DeSales Center, The Central New York Business Journal reports. The US$1.2-million project will make the center accessible. The new elevator will also open rental possibilities on the building’s top floor, which houses several rooms that would be suitable for nonprofit tenants. Renting the space would give those agencies room to grow while also generating revenue for Thea Bowman House. Thea Bowman House Executive Director Jane Domingue said the group looks forward “to having full accessibility at our center for our children, parents, employees and the community.” Along with the US$250,000 from Oneida County’s American Rescue Plan Act funds, the project also received support from private donors and other organizations.
