MC: Kroc Center Falters Elsewhere

Meghann M. Cuniff: Here’s an interesting article from the NYT about the struggles facing the Salvation Army’s Kroc Center project. Disappointingly, the article makes no mention of Coeur d’Alene’s Kroc Center, which seems to go against the developing trend of communities once committed to the Kroc vision not being able to support it because of the recession. For those interested in the national issue but focused on the local impact, it’s a big missing element in the story.

Question: Why has the Coeur d’Alene Kroc Center been such a success when similar facilities are having trouble elsewhere during the recession?
