WISOMMM Cultural Center will allow for the expansion of rental services currently being provided at WISOMMM Mansion at 53 Lincoln Park. The goal is to fulfill the unmet demand for larger events, as well as the ability to host more than one event at a time. Our current facility is limited for commercial use, therefore limiting the amount of revenue generated. In our current space we average about 3 meetings and 4 large events a month which total about $5,000. In our new facility we can generate three times that amount. We have had many community organizations, government agencies and businesses rent the premises for a wide range of events and performances. A community-based organization also rented the facility for a Kwanzaa celebration in December 2004.

Competitive Advantage

One of our advantages over our competitors exists in the uniqueness of our facility. We have a sanctuary attached to our Center that seats 1200. Weddings, lectures and other events can take place in the Sanctuary and a reception in the adjacent banquet hall could follow immediately after. In addition, our Auditorium can seat 1000 for a lecture, and we can seat over 500 for a formal dinner in the multi-purpose Hunter Hall. We are comparable with our competitors on the size of our space. We also have excellent availability and are extremely flexible with our hours of operation. The facility can be contracted for conferences, seminars and town hall meetings. Hunter Hall in the WISOMMM Cultural Center is a multi-purpose room that can be used for various types of functions, and there are many different meeting rooms from which to choose. From casual events to grand affairs, this versatile facility can accommodate the various needs of this diverse community.
