Houston County is one step closer to bringing its Farm Center back to life.
"It's an iconic and historic building," Andy Gosselin, from Gosselin Architecture, said."We'll work closely with the county in order to restore the Farm Center back to its original iconic status in the community as a place to hold important events."
While no concrete plans have been put into place, a farmers market will likely occupy a portion of the arena space in order to preserve some of the building's history. "The reason why we went with him is because he has worked on major projects in the past and he has been part of the historical preservation society," Shoupe said."On top of having that historical perspective, he also used to be a board member of the actual farmers market. To me, he just checks a lot of boxes and I think it's going to be a great fit."
Gosselin said walls and bleachers in the building will be taken out in order to make the Farm Center a multi-purpose facility with a large open space.
