When the Basalt River Park development was going through the town government’s review process a big selling point was providing a future, permanent home for the nonprofit Art Base.
Due to unexpected circumstances namely a pandemic the Art Base changed direction and purchased an existing building on Midland Avenue instead. Now the big question is what’s going to happen to the 6,500-squre-foot space eyed for the community arts center in the River Park development.
The Basalt Town Council will start sorting through the possibilities in a work session Feb. 23, according to Mayor Bill Kane.
Basalt River Park faced an uncertain fate when it went through months of review by the Basalt Town Council in 2019 and early 2020. A development group headed by Tim Belinski and Andrew Light pitched a project that combines free market residences, affordable housing units, offices and commercial space.
