LEOMINSTER, MA. Nov 1, 2013–The New Whalom Park Ownership Program, LLC is now officially the New Whalom Cooperative, LLC. The ownership board of directors was reclassified as the board of supervisors for the NWC, LLC and company officers elected. As we move forward we continue our efforts in recreating an experience that honors the original Whalom Park in building a New Whalom Park as a family entertainment center.

The New Whalom Cooperative, LLC is a consumer cooperative. Consumer cooperatives are enterprises owned by consumers and managed democratically which aim at fulfilling the needs and aspirations of their members. They operate within the market system, independently of the state, as a form of mutual aid, oriented toward service rather than economic gain. Consumers’ cooperatives often take the form of retail outlets owned and operated by their consumers, such as food co-ops, health care, insurance, housing, utilities, personal finance (including credit unions) and now amusement parks.

The New Whalom Park will be a Family Entertainment Center (FEC), a small indoor/outdoor Amusement Park available to families year-round. FECs usually cater to sub-regional markets of larger metropolitan areas and are relatively small, when compared to a full-scale traditional amusement park, mostly sustained by a local customer base.

With this plan a New Whalom Park can become a reality and the current Whalom Park community can be part of its creation. Member-Owner units (shares) are currently available for purchase. Together we can bring back what was lost while preserving its past, present and continue its future.
