A few points to consider.
- VHS does not own this building.
- A project like this will require approval from the Landord.
- Any improvements made become the property of the LL.
- The building can be sold at any time and VHS could be asked to leave.
- This lot will likely be “developed” at some point in the future.
As an aside regarding the “abanda-loaned tools” you should fill out and email a copy of the loan policy form linked here specifying exactly what you’ve loaned and what you want to happen to your tools. VHS in no way is responsible for any member tools left at the space.
