The basement of the Old Town Players on Broadway Street has been restored into a gathering place for teenagers that will open next Wednesday, February 14th.

The project was part of the HELP initiative which stands for Hoosier Enduring Legacy Program.

Vincennes was one of only 9 communities in Indiana awarded funding through the program meant to better communities.

HELP Community Coordinator Jamie Dugan for the city of Vincennes, Jamie Dugan says one of the most recognized needed amenities identified through analysis last  year was a place for teens to congregate…

In addition to HELP funds, other community donations of money and time helped to make the facility a reality.

The February 14th grand opening will be at 11-am and is open to the public and students from all Knox County schools will be participating.

Dugan says there will be several special announcements at the opening.
