The Indian Pueblo Entrepreneur Complex (IPEC) has been selected as a recipient of the Lowe’s Hometowns grant, joining 99 other community projects across the country that will receive support for large-scale renovations. The program, now in its fourth year, is part of Lowe’s five-year, $100 million pledge to restore and repair community spaces.
“We appreciate the generous support from the Lowe’s Hometown Grant program to enhance programming and resources for our Entrepreneurial Complex clients,” said IPEC’s Entrepreneurial director Bill Stimmel.
With this $200,000 grant, IPEC plans to carry out several upgrades intended to benefit both local entrepreneurs who use the complex and visitors at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC). Planned improvements include excavation for a retention pond, planting fruit trees, building pedestrian walkways, and additional landscaping on campus.
The Chamber recognized board member Monique Fragua, CEO of IPCC, and the center itself for their ongoing work in supporting Indigenous initiatives. “The Chamber congratulates board member Monique Fragua, IPCC CEO, and the IPCC for continuing with its mission to honor, preserve and move forward Indigenous ideas.”
