+Right now, we're paying \$850/month, all utilities and cleaning
+expenses, for the space we have now. Our lease is up in January.
+
+## What would we do with more space?
+
+- Add a woodshop
+- Add an audio/visual editing and recording studio
+- Add a long-term storage area
+- Develop a [storefront](storefront "wikilink")?

+## Option: More space in the church
+
+[Nick](User:Nickfarr "wikilink") is currently working with the church to
+determine where/how/when we would be able to get more space at our
+present location. If you are interested in becoming a part of this
+discussion, please let him know.
+
+Pros:
+
+- Access to larger meeting and assembly spaces
+- Cheap rent
+- Relatively central location
+
+Cons:
+
+- The church may want to increase our rent to "market" rates
+- We may be missing out on a better deal somewhere else
+
+## Option: Elsewhere
+
+See [SpaceSearch](SpaceSearch "wikilink").
+
+Given that January is quickly approaching (though it may not seem like
+it), members are all encouraged to be on the lookout for commercial
+spaces that might be suitable for us, both in terms of budget and
+functionality. If we can sustain a membership level of 40, given
+insurance and build-out considerations, we could very likely afford a
+space that (utilities included) is twice what we're paying now. For
+every member, add another \$40 (assuming our dues remain at \$50).
