CED, Chamber receive office building donation

Clovis Economic Development (CED) and the Clovis-Curry County Chamber of Commerce own a new office facility, thanks to a donation from a national real estate development company.

Cowperwood Company has donated the former call center on East Seventh Street, according to a Chamber news release. The building is 35,000-square-feet and valued at $3.8 million.

The building was erected in 2000 and has been predominately used as a call center.

“I certainly identify with Clovis as a community,” Cowperwood founder John Harvey said. “It was a pleasure working with Citizens Bank and (former CED Director) Chase Gentry over the years, and my partners and I are happy this contribution will have a positive impact in Clovis.”

“This is an extraordinary gift to our community,” said Chamber Executive Director Ernie Kos.

Plans for the building’s use have yet to be determined.

“Part of CED and the Chamber’s shared vision is to be a trusted partner that helps the community we serve to thrive,” said CED Executive Director Tina Dziuk.

CED and the Chamber officially accepted the property in November. They plan to host an open house early this year to explore what’s next for the space.
