Overview
Mission
Rugby first's economic development activities will be indirect, provided to the town and region by the operation of a community multi-use space. Employers and residents of rugby and the surrounding area have expressed frustration with the lack of amenities, after school programs, and multipurpose space available in the community. It is hard to recruit people to live and work in the area when they must leave the rural community for basic services and events. Childcare is also so limited that it affects the employment opportunities that parents can take because they cannot find appropriate care for their children. This planned multi-purpose space will allow schools, non-profits, and community organizations to use the space to expand and grow their missions. Currently, rugby is host to a variety of community organizations and non-profits, but very few of these groups have their own physical location, meeting rooms, or space for their programming and events. Separately, none of these group
What it reported doing in 2024
Rugby first plans to fundraise and build a multipurpose community center. The management and maintenance of the community center would be rugby first's long-term operation. There are two landowners in the area that have pledged to make a charitable donation of their land so that the community center can be located in town on the edge of a new housing development, connected to the existing system of walking paths the encircle the town of rugby. By being placed adjacent to the existing housing development the area has room to grow if the community center proves successful and can grow as rugby grows. Overall the location is ideal for rugby first and for the town of rugby. Rugby first would not discriminate against any group or cause in the use of its building. Rugby first plans to partner with local and regional non-profits and municipalities to make use of the space. Residents could also rent and use the space when available for community events as needed.
