As you may know, the Boynton Beach Mall in Boynton Beach, FL had donated 8,000 square feet of space to MLFH for a three-year lease. The lease was scheduled to end this year in November 2012 therefore active efforts were being led for MLFH to identify and transition to a permanent home outside of the Mall, at the end of the lease. However, the owners (Simon Property Group) of the Boynton Beach Mall forced MLFH to move now to make way for a tenant named You Fit Gym because this health club can pay market rate rent and the Mall needed MLFH's 8,000 square feet of space for the gym. To add, the Mall is For Sale! The move was sudden and abrupt. In a few short days, MLFH had to move from the Mall premises more than 37,000lbs of property. Certified museum movers were hired to assist with the move.
But, MLFH has received an offer of help with a permanent building. And, there are active efforts to identify a new home location. MLFH will be launching a capital campaign soon to help raise monies for the new permanent building efforts. MLFH has been working with a local agency on the permanent building efforts. Please visit this website again for updates about when MLFH the exhibit galleries will re-open.
