NEW USE PURSUED FOR BUILDINGS AT 10th AND MAIN

(Richmond, IN)--Plans are advancing for a new use for a part of East Main Street in Richmond.  The buildings that once were home to Kessler’s, BSN, and another retail store at 10th and East Main have been purchased and are being converted into what’s called a Makerspace.  "They've purchased both of those spaces with the intent of putting a makerspace in the basement first and, maybe, part of the second floor," said Dakota Collins in talking about the new owner and his wife.  It’s part of the Revitalize Richmond project.  Some of the activities expected to take place include working with electronics, 3D printing, and robotics.
