Project Imo has officially opened the doors on a new office and programming space in Willimantic, CT!
This was in anticipation of an amazing youth workforce development contract as well as a natural part of our evolution as an organization. In January, our Board of Directors approved a 5-year strategic plan to open a full youth and community center in town in 2028. This new office is a huge step toward that ambitious goal. We’ll be at 924 Riverside Drive (744r Main Street) in Willimantic.
