Relocation Sept 2015

Summary of Relocation Efforts

This page contains details of the ongoing relocation effort for move deadline of 1-Sept-2015

Base costs listed below do not include insurance, deposits, nor utilities which vary by location.

Projected Membership rates below include estimates to operate the makerspace for one year based on current member levels and no growth in membership. Obviously the intent is to grow the member base. Higher projected rates would impose an immediate higher pressure to grow in order to lower the individual member costs. These values are provided in order determine the worst case scenario/highest-cost possible. If you see a property below that you like but cost seems prohibitive, help us grow and get your friends to come join us. Since the Maker Station Inc is a GA Non-Profit organization, operating costs are divided across member dues. The more members we have, the lower the individual membership dues and the more opportunity for more tools.
