This proposal outlines plans for a new community pavilion in the town of Candor, New York. It discusses conducting research and outreach with the community to determine their needs and priorities. Based on feedback, early design concepts were created and revised. A final design proposal is presented, including sketches of a flexible pavilion that can accommodate various community activities like a farmers market, public events, and seasonal activities. Estimated costs are provided along with next steps to engage the broader community and pursue fundraising.
