They have to independently receive $1mil on their own to be able to receive $1mil from ECCF.

But if they do does that mean the maker Hive also moved over there?

Yes, we have space if we want it, but we need funding to keep it open available 7 days a week.

I thought the MakerHive was going to get some funding from this also?...
Just having a bigger empty space won't help grow the Hive.
I think we need money for equipment, furnishings, supplies, utilities, staff salaries, advertising, etc., etc. before we can draw more members. Just a big space won't help.

Thanks Mr. Obvious, we would have never made the connection . Maybe we should just get all the stuff first without having a place to put it too?
