BREAKING NEWS: Greenbelt Homes, Inc. members voted to continue towards purchase of 121 Centerway, the building in Roosevelt Center now housing the Greenbelt Co-op and Greenbelt Arts Center. The online vote terminated at 8 p.m. Friday, July 24 with 570 in favor and 157 against – almost 4 to 1 pro the purchase. 
The phrasing of the motion gives the GHI board authority to purchase the building, but also the flexibility to terminate the bid if new information reveals a threat to GHI between now and settlement. A no vote would have stopped all action.
