With much-needed repairs finally underway for the Mountain Arts Community Center atop Signal Mountain, discussions have shifted from saving the historic building to expanding its recreational and educational offerings.

During a roundtable community forum Dec. 4, supporters of the MACC brainstormed programs to help put the center back on the map.

The session comes months after the Signal Mountain Town Council allotted $300,000 for initial repairs to the original portion of the facility. Built in 1926, the building is in need of structural repairs, upgrades for restoration and other improvements to come up to ADA compliance, as well as a new sprinkler system in the back portion of the building.

It also comes shortly after MACC Board member Angie Landrum began forming an independent 501(c)(3) to act as a fundraising arm for the center.
