Pride Community Center votes to purchase permanent home on NW 10th Ave

After 22 years of operating out of temporary spaces, the Pride Community Center of North Central Florida voted at an April 19 special meeting to acquire a 4,500-square-foot commercial property at 1204 NW 10th Ave in Gainesville. The board approved the purchase by a strong majority, with financing supported by a bequest from the late Chuck Woods and a capital campaign that has already raised roughly $60,000. The new facility will house the Center’s offices, meeting rooms, program space, and the 1,500-volume Audre Lorde Memorial Library.
