For the past year, Economic Development had been making plans to construct a two-story building at 202 N. Main in St. John across from Gray’s Photo Studio.  This new structure would not only provide working space for an entrepreneur, but also living quarters.

Meanwhile, Eco Devo had the opportunity to buy a building that fit our proposed construction plans. Eco Devo now owns the building at 311 N. Broadway in St. John on the east side of the City Square.
