The long awaited 1902 Central Hall opened its restored doors to the public on Dec. 18 and 19.

With an evening reception by invitation on Dec. 18 and a public ribbon cutting on Dec. 19, the restoration of the Central Christian Church was celebrated with speeches, singing and fanfare.

“While this EDC renovation project was much longer than planned, it turned out beautifully and was worth the wait,” said Glen Ray, the president of the Pilot Point Municipal Development District, which funded the project. “I think it’s a wonderful investment for the community to have an event space of this caliber. I greatly appreciate Denise Morris as executive director for her steadfastness to get this project completed with the support of the local contractors.”
