In this episode, we talk to Brittany Breeden of Project Augustine, a nonprofit restoring the former St Augustine Catholic Church in the St. Louis Place Neighborhood. For the next three years, the goal is to stabilize and restore the building, eventually opening it as a community center offering arts and educational programs, a community garden, a wellness center, and administrative/entrepreneurial spaces.
