1. What will the Birck Family Innovation Gateway add to the community and downtown area?

The Birck Family Innovation Gateway's centerpiece is an interactive digital exhibit experience. It will be easy to explore images and stories grouped by person, theme, timeline, or artifact.  The digital exhibit experience will share a whole and inclusive history narrative. Using a wiki-like format, people will be able to upload approved documents, photographs, and stories. This community-sourced content will widen the narrative and include multiple perspectives.

 This forward-thinking project will inspire current and future generations. We can create a living legacy and steer a path to a better tomorrow by showcasing our history, diversity, community leaders, and growth.

The Birck Family Innovation Gateway is under construction with planned completion set for late 2023.
