GVCO Community Center
Project Update April 25, 2023
Another major milestone yesterday at the new GVCO Community Center complex at Bacton Hill Rd. The crane arrived and the contractors began erecting the steel for the 1st phase of the facility.
This long-time goal for the community began in 2013, and our relentless approach through the years is paying off. A very dedicated Great Valley community is making this community asset a reality.
This is Phase 1 of the overall project. This was the time consuming, "tough" part of the project: land purchase, engineering, land development, approvals, and the majority of the sitework.

It was a highly coordinated effort by a great number of individuals from right here in our community. It cost the community millions of dollars to get us to the anticipated September 2023 opening of this Phase I of the project (Donor list). And it's going to cost the community millions of more dollars to finish all 3 Phases of the project.

To make this happen, it will take a continued financial dedication by the entire Great Valley community, continued relentlessness, to first pay off the $2.5 million of financing and proceed with the remainder of the project.
Read and see more construction progress.
For further details on the project, how you can make a significant financial impact or information with regard to Naming Rights for the complex and areas throughout the project, please reach out to Keith Walsh at execdirector@gvco.org
Where We Started...

The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.

Do You Match?
Much of the success of any capital campaign comes from Employer Matching Gift Programs. Most corporations have a a matching gift program which enables you to have twice the impact with your contribution.

To date, we have received over $130,000 in matching gifts towards our new GVCO Community Center.
For this first phase of the project, if we could simply raise that same level of employer matching gifts, it would allow us to nearly pay for the entire plumbing in the building or all of the windows and doors.

We have compiled a list of corporations that historically have had Matching Gift Programs. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to execdirector@gvco.org and we will be glad to assist you.
The Future of GVCO
We are on our way...
