Y'all asked about local development... and I am THRILLED to share that the Hillsboro Arts League will be the newest tenant at The Point at Hillsboro, (aka former Outlet)

They will be bringing their gallery and classes to this space and also creating opportunities for other local artists and creatives.

National brands are exciting — but creating space for local talent matters too. More to come!
