History...How did a tiny town get an AWESOME SPACE like this???

In 2010, the two Unified School Districts in Hodgeman County consolidated and this building was left empty.  The School Board, Marena Township and community members had the foresight to turn the property into a Community and Business Center.  In 2015 the Culinary Incubator was added.
