What’s been happening with the effort to turn the former Cumberland Church into a community center on old Albany’s east end? Plenty, it turns out.
Time to check in on the Cumberland Project, the private effort to turn the former church into a community center for Albany, especially the east Willamette neighborhood.
Now that the old Cumberland Church has been moved to its new site, how soon before it becomes available as the community events center its new owners have in mind? Their goal is 2023, but it depends on how much money they can raise how soon.
Yesterday the move of the historic former Cumberland Church in Albany appeared imminent, as the original version of this story said. But not any more.
If everything goes according to plan, the historic former Cumberland Church in Albany will be moved on Thursday, Sept. 2.
