Rent, growth makes Civic Media Center move its locale

After 15 years on West University Avenue, the Civic Media Center packed up its books and moved into a bigger space more than a mile away.

The move to 433 S. Main St. began Tuesday and continued until Saturday. Regular hours will resume today.

A grand reopening ceremony will take place Saturday with a ribbon-cutting at 4 p.m. and an open house from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The biggest reason for changing locations was rent, said Jimmy Schmidt, co-coordinator of the CMC.

"It just keeps going up and up," Schmidt said.

Money wasn't the only reason for the move, he said. The CMC started to outgrow its University Avenue location.

"I put a lot of my life into this organization and a lot has happened here," Schmidt said. "On the other hand, I'm so excited about the new chapter and moving forward."
