Sixty days. Two hundred thousand dollars.
That’s the goal the team at The Repurpose Project set to support the local thrift shop’s expansion plans. The shop launched a fundraiser March 18 and hopes to raise $200,000 by May 16 to open a second Gainesville location.
Since 2012, The Repurpose Project, located at 1920 NE 23rd Ave, has been home to salvaged materials ranging from old canoes, furniture items and bus seats to vinyl records, building and art supplies.
