The Dream of a New Cultural Center

We have a dream of a new cultural center to expand on our existing historic museum housed in the Historic Macedonia Church. Our idea is to build a complex to surround the church. This new cultural center complex would not only expand the existing GHMCC but also the resources and cultural programming offered to the Gifford community.

In April 2021, we brought the idea and a request for land appropriation for the new center to the Indian River County Board of Commissioners. At that meeting, the board issued an official proclamation in support of the new Gifford Cultural Center.

We are now on our way to making this dream a reality. We are currently in the initial planning phase, working to engage the expertise of The Lord Group for master project planning. This phase is vital to preparing for the structural/facilities design and build phase - which will be fleshed out during the formal public Gifford Cultural Center Charet scheduled to take place in the summer of 2021.
