In 2007 the building occupied by the JSO on a long-term lease with Comerica Bank was donated to the JSO. This kicked off the JSO capital/endowment campaign, Sound Vision, successfully completed in December of 2011. $4.2 million was raised in cash and pledges. The JSO endowment now stands at $2.0 million; the JSO facility has been renovated and is now a state of the art performance (smaller 300 person capacity), rehearsal and education center. In addition the JSO has an $800,000 building maintenance fund to take care of facility repairs and future upgrades.
