Restoring a Symbol of Community:
South Side Growth Campus Project
The South Side Community Growth Foundation has acquired the former Bishop Foery Center and surrounding campus located on Edmund Avenue (map), and plans to redevelop the center into a vibrant, neighbor-centered property. The space will be designed with significant input from Southside neighbors and will re-establish the building as a place that is known for community connection.
Through early conversations we’ve had with neighbors, one community desire emerged loud and clear: residents want a shared space where they can gather, learn and grow.
As our first major investment into the Southside, we are committed to developing this project and all its phases in partnership with neighborhood residents. See our press release for more information, and continue to check this page for future project updates.
