'500 Abell Street' is a GLO-managed project wherein A2J will be be renovating an abandoned elementary school in Wharton that is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a tremendous opportunity to save this historic building which was built in the 1930's and has sat abandoned since 2009. Last Saturday A2J hosted an Open House and conducted informative tours for the community to share our vision of how the building may be transformed. Here is a link to the video, which was live streamed by the local media, Jessica Hartman of The County Gin.
