Nearly five years after first breaking ground, the United Learning Center (ULC) will celebrate its official opening in Centralia with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday.
The event begins at 11:30 a.m.
The ULC is a collaboration between United Way of Lewis County, the Discover! Children’s Museum, the Boys and Girls Club of Lewis County, and Bezos Academy, a tuition-free Montessori-style preschool.
The City of Centralia owns the 17,900-square-foot building located on the corner of Maple Street and North Pearl Street.
United Way of Lewis County and the Discover! Children’s Museum operate as the main tenants. United Way subleases its portion to Bezos Academy and the Boys and Girls Club.
Cascade Community Healthcare, an early partner in the project, may occupy space at the center in the future.
Discover! opened its doors on April 25.
