CREW Community Center

Community Resources for Education & Wellness, Inc. (CREW) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to advance education and wellness by providing facilities, programs and services that cultivate healthy minds, bodies, and spirits. We are supporting CREW through renovations of a historic school building to develop a local community center.

The Triplett High and Vocational School was built in 1939 with a subsequent cafeteria addition built in the 1950’s. The building functioned as a school until 1992, after which it was donated to the town of Mount Jackson. The building was used by the local fire department and rescue squad, and during this time, a steel-framed, five-bay garage was added along with office space.

This adaptive reuse project includes complete renovations to the existing buildings while maintaining the defining historical characteristics. The community center will include sports and recreation facilities, a full-service commercial kitchen, event venues, teaching rooms, and gallery spaces. Historic tax credits are a funding source for the project and the work will satisfy both State and Federal historic rehabilitation standards.
