As the plans for the Heritage Center became more concrete last spring, it appeared that the participating parties would be the Senior Center and the Lakeville Area Historical Society.
During these discussions, though, a parallel dialogue was taking place among members of the Lakeville Yellow Ribbon organization.
“We were looking for a central spot to run some programs,” said Lindy Kes, who was among the original members of the group.
The Yellow Ribbon organization entered talks with the other two parties and the new partnership was born.
Yellow Ribbon offered to sponsor the commercial kitchen for the new Heritage Center, which will occupy space on Holyoke Avenue, across from City Hall, that used to serve as Lakeville’s police station.
The estimated contribution is about $27,000, which Kes said the group can raise now that the City Council voted last month to officially approve the project.
Tom Hilla, who was active duty in the Navy from 2001-2009, is also part of Yellow Ribbon.Read More
