“Northside has always been a pillar and asset to the community,” said Quincey Morris, Northside Renaissance board president, seen here with County Mayor Lee Harris (background). “We would hate to see the building be demolished or go into disrepair.

A nearly 200-page Studio Gang report was completed in conjunction with community input in 2017-18, presenting various possibilities such as vocational training, a job resource center, performing arts auditorium or living and studio space.
