Zora’s House is getting an upgrade.
The Weinland Park-based nonprofit is the new owner of the site of the recently demolished D&J Carryout at North 4th Street and East 8th Avenue in the neighborhood.
After years of exploring options for the property, Community Properties of Ohio donated the land to Zora’s House, a coworking and community space for women of color currently housed in an approximately 2,000-square-foot building on Summit Street. The organization will launch a $2.5 million capital campaign to construct a 10,000-square-foot building, with a tentative goal to open doors in late 2022.
Founder and CEO LC Johnson said the additional space will allow her to extend programming to more women, who often leverage Zora’s House to launch businesses and other initiatives.
