Staunton Makerspace has begun work on a project to overhaul the look of its nonprofit community hub located at 20 South Jefferson Street in Staunton.
The exterior painting work was made possible by two donors as part of the Ferguson Mueller Fund, whose generosity helped cover the cost of painting materials.
OC Painting also stepped forward to donate a portion of the painting services, further supporting the effort to revitalize the building.
“Community support is what makes everything we do possible,” said James Klawon, president of the Makerspace. “We are grateful to the donors and partners who helped make this project a reality. The West Johnson Street neighborhood has a rich history, and we are proud to contribute to its continued growth, revitalization, and sense of community pride.”
The improvement comes as the Makerspace continues to expand its educational programming, scholarship opportunities and affordable access to equipment and training in woodworking, metalworking, pottery, cnc, laser cutting, textiles, and electronics, and other creative disciplines.
