A local group has been dreaming about a new building for years.

Now, members are one step closer to seeing it come true.

The USDA gave “STEP"… or Support To Eliminate Poverty, in Patrick County, a loan for more than $1.1 million.

The new building will have enough space to house the organization’s current and future programs like Head Start, homeless intervention and senior meals. “We’re grateful to the taxpayers as well,” says Executive Director Jon Morris. We really want to be apart of this community and we have been for many, many years and we intend on being in the community for years to come.”

About a year after the new facility opens, the organization will start on phase two of the project, which includes affordable housing for low to moderate income families.
