The Build #2: Location is everything!

First off - thank you! Watching more sign-ups, follows, and pledges roll in is incredible. Every share, every conversation, and every new name on the list helps us prove what we already know: Bella Vista is ready for this. The momentum is real, and it matters as we negotiate for a location. Because finding the right home base? That’s everything.

Last week, I walked a potential spot with the Blue Crane team. The location? Just about perfect. The space itself? Needs some love. But it’s got the bones to become something special—something that could truly anchor Participant’s growth. We want to be the hub of Bella Vista, and that starts with locking in the right home.

Here’s the reality: When one group owns most of the real estate, the game is different. Blue Crane is shaping what Bella Vista becomes—the trails, the bike park, the future of this place. When I laid out what we’re building and how we’re building it, I think they got it. Now it’s about making it real.

Full transparency - every win, every challenge. You’ll hear it all as we push forward.

Oh, and one more thing: Pencil in May 4th for a Bella Vista Block Party, Participant Style. You in?
