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

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