Chowchilla Heritage Welcome Center Project

Chowchilla Heritage Welcome Center Project

NOTE: Recirculated EIR The Recirculated DEIR focuses on the deconstruction of the building Dodge Brothers Bldg. and reconstruction at the existing site or three alternative sites. The Chowchilla Heritage Park/Heritage Center Project is designed to deconstruct and salvage the materials and then reconstruct the Dodge Brothers garage (one of the oldest buildings in Chowchilla) to be used as a "Welcome Center" and potentially house local non-profit community groups or other local activities which may include retail operations. The Welcome Center concept is to provide a location where the history of Chowchilla can be visualized from old photographs, exhibits, and written materials. There are two alternative locations under consideration: 1) On Front Street south of Robertson Blvd. 2) Two vacant land parcels generally between Second Street and Third Street.
