  • Good news: still a few places in central locations available
  • Bad news: market is such that we won't get a deal (and would end up paying 20% more than we're currently paying)
  • Plan is to make an offer subject to board approval, but will need to have some strategic discussions
  • Risk of losing clients in moving to a new place, in addition to moving costs and increased rent costs
  • Opportunities include high population in new area, and many commuters go through the area
  • Ideal to make a decision in the next 1-2 months
  • Given current budgetary constraints, should strongly consider whether this is the right time to make a costly move, or create a rigorous plan for increasing BWN revenue
  • Will set up a meeting with BWS landlord to talk about renewing lease for that location
  • Following April staff meeting, will have a shop-based plan for increasing revenue
  • Board to look at increasing revenue through other means, such as sponsorship
