The Indian Pueblo Entrepreneur Complex (IPEC) announced that it has been selected as a Lowe’s Hometowns project, one of 100 community nominated, large-scale renovations that will revitalize nonprofit and community spaces serving as hubs and heartbeats for hometowns.
In its fourth year, Lowe’s Hometowns is the company’s five-year, $100 million commitment to repairing and restoring millions of square feet of community space.
“We appreciate the generous support from the Lowe’s Hometown Grant program to enhance programming and resources for our Entrepreneurial Complex clients,” IPEC’s Entrepreneurial director Bill Stimmel said.
The $200,000 grant will allow IPEC to complete renovations that will not only improve the experiences of the local entrepreneurs who make use of it but also add to the overall visitor experience at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC).
The money from the grant will be used by IPEC for landscaping and improvement to its campus. Planned projects include excavation for a retention pond, planting new fruit trees, pedestrian walkways and other landscaping projects.
The Chamber congratulates board member Monique Fragua, IPCC CEO, and the IPCC for continuing with its mission to honor, preserve and move forward Indigenous ideas.
