WCF envisions the church as a future community and cultural center for the Village. There is much work to be done to make that happen - it lacks heating, and plumbing, and needs many basic upgrades. We are currently in the planning phase on this exciting project, and look forward to welcoming Villagers to participate by rolling up their sleeves on the renovation and supporting the fundraising goals to make this transformation possible.

The Capstone report produced by Youngstown University identified numerous opportunities for reinvestment and redevelopment in the Village. The mayor has convened a special committee, the “Make it Happen” committee, to turn those ideas into action. WCF believes this is a perfect opportunity for a public-private partnership, and is represented on the committee by Board Member David Thompson.
