The Gifford Academy for Performing Arts, formerly the Gifford Youth Orchestra, is planning a groundbreaking ceremony for a new facility. This event is scheduled for Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at 5:15 PM. The organization, led by Executive Director Charles Lunceford and President Jane Burton, is moving forward with plans for this new building. The project would likely involve site preparation, foundation work, construction of the building structure, and interior finishing. Following the ceremony, students will perform their spring concert. This project represents an early-stage opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the organization before detailed site plans, bids, and permits are finalized. Reaching out now could provide a competitive advantage for businesses interested in supporting this new performing arts academy.
