A planned early childhood center in Avon is making progress and could start construction this summer.
At a Monday update to the Eagle County Board of Commissioners, representatives from the Vail Valley Foundation provided information about fundraising, center specifics and more.
Foundation CEO Mike Imhof noted that a $72 million “silent campaign” for child care and other purposes in its “Empowering Possibility” fundraising campaign has reached the 50% mark in that goal. Projects include arts and entertainment, “capitalizing on our ski racing legacy,” building community supports and “empowering possibility for youth and families.”
