Janet Cooper Named Arcadia Program Director

Arcadia at Sewanee’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Janet Cooper, a Sewanee resident and University of the South graduate (C’80), has been hired to assume the role of program director for the organization. Janet will share her 40 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, most recently as director of the Plateau’s South Cumberland Community Fund.

Arcadia’s board continues to make progress with ARCH Consultants’ efforts to determine the feasibility of a retirement community located between Kennerly Road and Alabama Avenue in Sewanee.

ARCH’s conclusions and recommendations will include the topographical suitability of the site, a preliminary site design and architectural renderings of the buildings, a development budget and financial forecast.

The project remains in a very preliminary stage but concrete steps are being taken toward Arcadia’s goal of bringing a continuing care retirement facility to Sewanee.
