Summary
The Beaver Island Community Center opened on 1 July 2008 after a preservation campaign that began with the former Dockside Market’s condemnation in 1989 and the Preservation Association’s formation in 1994. The July report describes a ribbon cutting, the project’s history, and the building’s first public uses.
