Hey, have you heard about the Gilbert Building downtown? It’s this cool old building in Beaumont that’s about to get a major face lift! We’re talking a $4–6 million renovation to bring it back to its former glory.
So, what’s cool is that the city is really backing this project. They’ve approved a complete tax break for seven whole years. It’s the city’s way of saying, Hey, developers, please fix up this awesome old building!
The idea is to turn the Gilbert Building into a spot where you can find both offices and shops. They want to keep all the historical charms but add modern updates so it is useful for today’s businesses. It’s not just about saving a piece of Beaumont’s past but also making downtown a livelier place with more shops and opportunities.
Basically, with the city’s help on taxes, the Gilbert Building is on its way to becoming a hot spot for offices and stores. The project keeps the old Beaumont feel while helping the local economy get a little boost. It’s a win-win! I’m excited to see it when it is done. It sounds like it is going to be amazing. Have you ever been inside before? I’d love to check it out once they open it again. Maybe we can grab a coffee at one of the new spots in the building. That would be fun!
