After more than 50 years at our Dutchmans Lane location, we signed a lease for our new facility at 3439 Breckinridge Lane on Feb. 5. The agreement is for seven years, with the option for two five-year extensions. This move was prompted by the sale of the larger property to Norton Hospital. Our goal has been to have full operational capability by Aug. 1. We are currently waiting for construction/building permit approval. Renovation and build-out will take six-eight weeks once permits are approved. We’ve contracted with a construction company to take care of all aspects of work. Our primary customer, of course, is the 12-step group, and we intend to maintain – indeed, grow – our meeting schedule. Our great hope is that every group that meets at our current location will join us at Breckinridge Plaza.
We currently occupy 2,000 square feet where we host 57 meetings per week. Our new club will have more than two-and-a-half times as much room, with 5,200 square feet; three meeting rooms; lounge & concession; first floor with front and rear entrances; handicap accessible; ample, well-lit parking; and a designated smoking area. Of course, three meeting rooms will allow us to hold more meetings to serve our community, and perhaps to serve other 12-step fellowships that don’t meet with us now. Our new facility is in Breckinridge Plaza, only 2.9 miles from our current location, in the former Horner’s Novelty store. The new club, a six-minute drive from exit 18 of the Watterson Expressway, can also be reached by TARC Bus lines 23, 62, and 53X. The new facility will allow us to expand our food concession with more snacks and ready-to-eat foods and give us more space for recovery literature and merchandise.
