Over the past few years, my business has evolved as meeting the demands of my community, providing job opportunities, and having a positive impact converged to make a solid plan. The gorgeous, historic Enders building offers the perfect location for filling these needs. First, our rural community currently needs more adequate accommodations for area industry needs. Housing workers over 60 miles away has become the norm, even when roads & wildlife make the drive treacherous. Catering to businesses & contracting with them will allow continuous, quality service for them and steady, consistent income for Enders. Next, our community has utilized churches & schools for events & gatherings. Still, using the ballroom for this purpose brings family, friends, coworkers, & teams together to celebrate, plan, learn, & communicate while also enjoying a clear view of the geyser & enjoying Main Street, Soda Springs, Idaho. This space also has a front entrance that I have designed to create a place for customers to sit, enjoy coffee, baked goods, or ice cream, relax, and rejuvenate without the rush a full restaurant would bring. The area industry has also asked for healthier, pre-made options that workers can preorder & pick up to take to the mountain or their hotel room. Finally, the gift shop provides the perfect place for local artists to display their capabilities & sell products to community members or guests of the hotel. Providing these services at an exceptional level requires loyal, trustworthy employees who also realize the value of quality customer service. This, in turn, means prioritizing a livable wage, quality inventory & equipment to work with, increased technology incorporation, & positive work relations. Funding this project would supply the resources needed to do so.
