ABOUT ICE HOUSE FLATS
Our Board of Trustees has arrived in this place and time in history by accident. It was a casual conversation and then another that brought the group together all recognizing the potential of the old Ice House. We approached Lenny, and he was already thinking of how to put this unique property to good use that would benefit the whole community. With the group formed, we set about learning how to make the dream a reality. For all of those that offered a helping hand along the way, Listed below are the plans that we proposed to bring this area of town back into use to help the community. Thank you.
