Located on the site of the former Engine Company 212 firehouse in Williamsburg, the Town Hall will serve as a home for these organizations to continue to serve, organize, and advocate for the community. The building will also feature a flexible cultural exhibition and community meeting space on the ground floor.
The money raised from the event will go to the projects capital fund, which needs to reach $1 million by next year to begin the renovations to convert the building into this much-needed resource.
