The inside of the Plymouth Building in downtown St. Joseph might look nearly unrecognizable as progress is being made on the future Children's Discovery Center.
One year after ground was broken on the new Childrens Discovery Center in downtown St. Joseph, construction is progressing nicely.
Mosaic Life Care Foundation President Julie Gaddie says the amount of work that has gone in to get the building where it is today is remarkable.
"From the basement, clear through the rooftop, there have been workers from all across our region who have been in this building daily to help bring it to life," Gaddie tells KFEQ/St. Joseph Post.
Gaddie says with several partners stepping up and helping in fundraising efforts for the project, the foundation is down to the final four percent of the goal.
"We just have more and more people stepping forward every day to say this is going to make a generational difference in our community, and we're so grateful for those that want to be a part of the project," Gaddie says.
Gaddie says as construction continues the facility is still set to be open when the foundation had scheduled.
"We're on track to open right at the end of the year next year, and there's been no changes to that timeline since we've began, we've been very, very fortunate," Gaddie explains.
Gaddie led a tour of partners and city leaders throughout the building showing off progress on the ground floor, mezzanine, and second floor of the facility.
