A Community’s Gratitude: Thank You for Protecting Agave and Our Neighbors

The Agave building, though impacted, was saved from total destruction thanks to their efforts and the resilience of modern construction materials. Our construction site to the south played a crucial role in stopping the fire’s spread, protecting nearby neighbors from harm. While Agave sustained some damage, we are already back under construction, moving forward with rebuilding. We extend our deepest gratitude to the firefighters, first responders, and everyone who contributed to protecting our community.
