The LGBT Community Center has been serving The greater Cleveland area for over 40 years and as of this may they announced plans today to construct a new, dynamic and versatile community center in the Gordon Square Arts District of its Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood.
The expansion is a realization of the Community Center’s goal to solidify Northeast Ohio as a place where LGBTQ people are embraced and celebrated as integral members of the community. The new facility will offer expanded programming and meeting areas totaling almost three times that of the current space. It will be accessible, visible and welcoming to the LGBTQ community and the surrounding neighborhood.
----------
The partnership including Ohio Burlesque and The LGBT Center for this year will include engaging our community to raise not only donations for daily operations but their match grant for the new facility, to volunteer and share their community vision and community engagement.
