UNIONTOWN COMMUNITY BUILDING BOARD
MONDAY, JUNE 15, 2026
UNIONTOWN, WASH. — The Board of the Uniontown Community Building (UCB) wants to announce that it is no longer in control of the downtown property that the group has managed for over 74 years.
The UCB board of directors has managed, remodeled and maintained the building with the help of community members from all around the region, including volunteers from Colton, Genesee and Uniontown. “The building has always been managed by the UCB since 1954, so the transition away from the UCB is very upsetting to us.”
The group paid for or did the work to upgrade the building over time, including creating a new kitchen in the basement when event outgrew the top floor amenities, replacing windows, and replacing stoves.
“These historical archives show how strong the community has been to support this building and the group who ran it,” UCB board said. The wheel has been running smoothly and has no squeak that needed grease to fix it.
Records show the UCB paid to offset about half of the city’s insurance payment in 2025 worth $5,500 for the coverage on the building.
The Building is owned by the town and in 1954 a group of volunteers including the mayor at the time decided that the only way to help with the cost of the building was to form a board of directors to maintain and raise funds for the building, the current mayor and town council decided they would like to manage and pay the bills for the building.
“The UCB board would like to get back to working alongside the Town of Uniontown and they hope that we’re able to return to what has worked well for our group,” the president added.
UCB will rent the building for the 2027 sausage feed and hope the community volunteers will continue to support the group’s efforts.
