The Architect and Developer have not been selected yet. The request for proposals will go out in early May with a due date for applications around mid July. The project isn’t starting construction for a few more years. Until then, the building is being temporarily leased to a local non-profit. You may recognize the non-profit African Youth & Community Organization (AYCO) from the February (2021) presentation to the MNA from the Founder and Executive Director Jamal Dar.
