Superior Building Foundation Formed
A new nonprofit organization, the Superior Building Foundation, has been established to help preserve one of Concrete’s most significant historic landmarks. The 1923 Superior Building was listed among the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation’s Most Endangered Historic Properties.
The Foundation’s mission is to help restore and revitalize the building as a community asset—honoring its legacy while creating new opportunities for education, culture, and economic activity.
The organization has completed state registration, adopted bylaws, and elected its inaugural board of directors: Joe Bersch, Spencer Kull, Alana McCoy, Valerie Stafford, and Theresa White.
The adopted bylaws outline the Foundation’s purpose, governance, officer roles, and financial oversight, establishing transparent procedures for decision-making, membership, and public accountability. These principles provide the framework for responsible, long-term stewardship of the property.
The Foundation’s board will work in close collaboration with the Town of Concrete. Initial priorities include engaging the community in the rehabilitation process and connecting residents, visitors, and regional partners through outreach and events.
Community members will be invited to participate through informational meetings and events, volunteer opportunities, and financial contributions. As the Foundation completes its start-up tasks, it will launch a website and communication channels to share updates, visioning concepts, and opportunities for public involvement.
