Right now, we're paying \$850/month, all utilities and cleaning
|
|
|
|
expenses, for the space we have now. Our lease is up in January.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What would we do with more space?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Add a woodshop
|
|
|
|
- Add an audio/visual editing and recording studio
|
|
|
|
- Add a long-term storage area
|
|
|
|
- Develop a [storefront](storefront "wikilink")?

## Option: More space in the church
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Nick](User:Nickfarr "wikilink") is currently working with the church to
|
|
|
|
determine where/how/when we would be able to get more space at our
|
|
|
|
present location. If you are interested in becoming a part of this
|
|
|
|
discussion, please let him know.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pros:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Access to larger meeting and assembly spaces
|
|
|
|
- Cheap rent
|
|
|
|
- Relatively central location
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cons:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The church may want to increase our rent to "market" rates
|
|
|
|
- We may be missing out on a better deal somewhere else
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Option: Elsewhere

Given that January is quickly approaching (though it may not seem like
|
|
|
|
it), members are all encouraged to be on the lookout for commercial
|
|
|
|
spaces that might be suitable for us, both in terms of budget and
|
|
|
|
functionality. If we can sustain a membership level of 40, given
|
|
|
|
insurance and build-out considerations, we could very likely afford a
|
|
|
|
space that (utilities included) is twice what we're paying now. For
|
|
|
|
every member, add another \$40 (assuming our dues remain at \$50).
