Development Phases

We reached our Phase One funding goal of $400,000 in February 2018.

The Eureka Springs Community Center Foundation will continue to seek community involvement with all of the major components of this project. Because this dialogue between the Foundation, area residents, the business community, and many others is ongoing, these phases and their construction components and costs are constantly evolving.

There are currently four phases listed below.

The project will move to completion as each fundraising goal is met.
