Back in the summer of 2023, the Pocatello Art Center had a problem.
The roof was leaking. Water was seeping into the three upstairs apartments above their location at 444 North Main Street, and it was a situation that required quick action.
Unfortunately for Pocatello Art Center board members, they had just spent almost all their fund money refurbishing the upstairs apartments and found themselves without the funds to pay for an expensive roof repair.
