Through the "contact us" section of the site, a reader named Jack asks the question "What do you think should be housed inside the Armory that will give back and benefit the community?".
Have You Been to These Venues Lately?
The New Rochelle Armory – Can You Answer This Question?

I agree with you that the Armory should be used for the community and that the "drill deck" can lend itself to different venues. Do you think there is a community facility that can occupy a portion or majority of the armory and pay a fair market rental rate?
Thanks again Jack for your interest. While we haven't ruled out anything specific, we would like to hear more on your thoughts about usage. You sound like you have something in mind.
