FLORENCE – The former Fremont Middle School campus didn’t sit vacant for long after it was purchased in May and then taken possession by Unbridled Holdings of Denver, in partnership with local investors, in July.
Now, there’s a steady buzz inside the three-story, 100-year-old historic main building.
Team members and crews are busy restoring floors and looking at floor plans while some businesses and organizations already are moving their offices to the new Emergent Campus, which originally was the Florence High School.
The goal of the property is to build on the economic development initiatives of Fremont Economic Development Corp. and a four-county innovation sector initiative, the Upper Arkansas Technology Sector Partnership.
In the future, Emergent Campus is envisioned as a “work, live, play” style business campus, with space for incubation, trainings, offices, events and living quarters.
