This is how Laura's speech as structured at the ribbon cutting, so maybe since we've got the song added at the end of the video we could cycle through a series of Thank yous to our various categories of partners shown below... Let me know what you think... Equity Partners A group of individuals believed in this vision early and backed it with real investment, many of them also lending their own hands to the project’s design, development, and construction along the way. Incentive Partners This extraordinary project required an extraordinary series of partnerships and incentives to achieve feasibility. The City of Hutchinson, the State Historic Preservation office (SHPO), the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC), and the Kansas Department of Commerce all participated in multiple incentive partnerships to make this project possible. Financing Partners First National Bank of Hutchinson is the primary lender on the project, with additional financing provided by Nebraska Bank of Commerce (Lincoln, NE). Development Partners This project would not exist without Historic Preservationist, Brenda Spencer (Spencer Preservation) and Co-Developer, Justin Pregont (Pomeroy Development). From the very beginning, they stood alongside Laura Meyer-Dick as true development partners, helping shape the vision, navigate the complexity of a project this size, and carry it all the way through construction. Their leadership was as essential to bringing The Meyer Landmark back to life as any brick or beam in the building itself, and they deserve a huge thank-you. Design Partners Engineering Consultants, Tesserre Architecture, and Jenny Maschler, who led interior selections and design, shaped the building from structural bones to finished details. Construction Partners MBC Construction served as general contractor on a project that took tens of thousands of labor hours, from demolition to framing, plumbing to painting, trim carpentry to stained glass restoration, and everything in between.
