HISTORY IN THE MAKING

We continue to move forward with the generosity from supporters like you.

2017: A Feasibility and Economic Impact Study with the City of Elmhurst established the project’s viability.
2019: A site was secured at 109-119 West First Avenue, across from the train station.
2021: Additional properties were acquired, totaling nearly an acre of land.
2023: ECPA partnered with Ryan Companies to design and construct the venue.
Now, with a $20 million capital campaign underway, including $3 million for operational support, we are closer than ever to realizing this transformational vision.
