WSERC has a Permanent Home
|
After 30 years WSERC will have a permanent home in downtown Paonia! On June 26 we will complete purchase of three office units in Terry Ungaro’s building on the north-east corner of Second and Poplar Avenues.
Terry constructed the building in 2002, and it’s in great shape. Located one-and-a-half blocks off Grand Avenue, Paonia’s main street, it is easily accessible to our members, with ample on-street parking.
Stop by for a visit!
