Vigilant Hope, a Wilmington, NC nonprofit, has been working to alleviate poverty and homelessness in the area for a decade. One of its programs, Business on a Mission, focuses on job skills training and employment through a coffee roastery; the program’s success has led to the need for expansion by turning an existing retail space in downtown Wilmington into a full-fledged coffee roastery and café.

LS3P conducted a Life Safety Plan and Appendix B Code Summary for the 2,595 SF space, which will ultimately support program participants and provide revenue for operations.
