(drum roll please)
Shumla's new Headquarters!!
On Highway 90 in Comstock is a lonely double wide that has been waiting for the right family to come and make it their own. It was abandoned by the Border Patrol folks when they got their fancy schmancy new Comstock facility just east of town. The County took possession of the property and our friend Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez went to bat for Shumla to make it ours. (THANK YOU, SHERIFF MARTINEZ!)
It may look a little worse for wear right now, but it's got great bones. It just needs a little love (and some floor tiles and a lot of paint).
It's already wired for high-tech equipment and very secure. Best of all, it's BIG! Our entire team will be able to have offices in the same building! What's more...our current office can turn back into a guest house, which means we can hire more interns and welcome more volunteers!
There is space in the new HQ for our plasma oxidation laboratory, the servers and super computers, our interns and volunteers and, of course, space for our amazing and incredible staff to stretch out and do the groundbreaking work you know and love them for.
