While the DBCC has generated significant excitement and interest in the Dome Building, this is not DAS's first attempt to sell or dispose of the Building. Here is a brief outline of past attempts since the 2010.

The Dome Building Community Coalition (DBCC) is pleased to announce that our efforts to acquire the Dome Building have borne fruit!
The Dome Building is a pivotal investment opportunity, serving as both a cultural icon and an economic engine for Marion County. Despite its appeal, the expansive deferred maintenance and historical obligations deter private buyers, shrinking appraised values and prolonging listing periods. Particularly challenging is the need for major system restorations before any revenue generation can occur. For organizations without a preservation focus or access to public funds, the high costs and potential risks are too overwhelming compared to newer properties. If we wait to take action, we risk exacerbating these issues, resulting in further depreciation of the building's value, increased restoration costs, and a potential loss of cultural heritage. However, The Dome Building Community Coalition (“DBCC”) can convert these perceived obstacles into lasting community benefits, transforming liabilities into valuable public assets through strategic public investment.
In early 2025, the Young Leaders Program began exploring opportunities with state and local agencies to secure funding or a facility that could support long-term sustainability. The initial concept focused on establishing a community-serving space that could include a thrift store, food pantry, and shared community area to support Young Leaders Program operations and mission-aligned services
We are pleased to announce letters of support from various organizations & officials. Here is the link to those letters:
