"It was incredible to see so many people come together, exchange ideas, and envision the possibilities for this facility," said Mayor TJ Callahan. "This center belongs to the people of South Roxana, and we are excited to see it become a place for connection and growth."

"The Village extends its gratitude to all who attended and whose presence and input helped make the event successful.
