== Protocol ==

It's essential to follow health and safety protocol when getting involved:

* If you have any of the these symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath) do not get involved in any of the projects

* Even non-symptomatic people can carry and transmit the virus, therefore when handling material or making items always wear a mask.

Members, see [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oWOMFBHGY8zipdVBf5ezmlfQ4fJ6rHM7b6PllxF2Nxg/edit MN COVID War Facility Access Policy] for more details.

== In SF Bay Area ==

Maker Nexus is coordinating an effort. You can read the projects above and get involved with us. Each project will tell you how to contact our lead for that project. We may also be able to supply you material for the effort; we are sourcing what we can.

== Outside the SF Bay Area ==

If you are not in the Maker Nexus area (SF Bay Area, South) you could start your own effort in your area. Your effort is two pronged: find people and supplies to make stuff; find organizations that need stuff. You don't want to make things and then have no where to deploy them.

Some ideas of places you can contact in your area:

* The non-profit that supports your local hospital; there is often a foundation
* A CCRC (continuing care retirement community) near you
* On NextDoor mention what you are doing and ask for contacts into your local health care system

You should consider how you will organize your local group of volunteers. Maker Nexus uses [http://slack.com Slack], it's free to get started. Others use Discord. Others chat by Skype or Zoom every day.

== I want to Help ==

As mentioned above, our project pages each have instructions. If these projects are not for you or you have other skills to contribute, you might consider registering at the Tinker's Guild Tech Forum's [https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thetinkersguild/emergency-response-production-for-medical-devices--t48636.html Emergency Response Production For Medical Devices And Accessories page] (external link).

== In SF Bay Area ==

Maker Nexus is coordinating an effort. You can read the projects above and get involved with us. Each project will tell you how to contact our lead for that project. We may also be able to supply you material for the effort; we are sourcing what we can.

== Outside the SF Bay Area ==

If you are not in the Maker Nexus area (SF Bay Area, South) you could start your own effort in your area. Your effort is two pronged: find people and supplies to make stuff; find organizations that need stuff. You don't want to make things and then have no where to deploy them.

Some ideas of places you can contact in your area:

* The non-profit that supports your local hospital; there is often a foundation
* A CCRC (continuing care retirement community) near you
* On NextDoor mention what you are doing and ask for contacts into your local health care system

You should consider how you will organize your local group of volunteers. Maker Nexus uses [http://slack.com Slack], it's free to get started. Others use Discord. Others chat by Skype or Zoom every day.

== I want to Help ==

As mentioned above, our project pages each have instructions. If these projects are not for you or you have other skills to contribute, you might [https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thetinkersguild/emergency-response-production-for-medical-devices--t48636.html consider registering here]

== In SF Bay Area ==

Maker Nexus is coordinating an effort. You can read the projects above and get involved with us. Each project will tell you how to contact our lead for that project. We may also be able to supply you material for the effort; we are sourcing what we can.

== Outside the SF Bay Area ==

If you are not in the Maker Nexus area (SF Bay Area, South) you could start your own effort in your area. Your effort is two pronged: find people and supplies to make stuff; find organizations that need stuff. You don't want to make things and then have no where to deploy them.

Some ideas of places you can contact in your area:

* The non-profit that supports your local hospital; there is often a foundation
* A CCRC (continuing care retirement community) near you
* On NextDoor mention what you are doing and ask for contacts into your local health care system

You should consider how you will organize your local group of volunteers. Maker Nexus uses [http://slack.com Slack], it's free to get started. Others use Discord. Others chat by Skype or Zoom every day.

== I want to Help ==

As mentioned above, our project pages each have instructions. If these projects are not for you or you have other skills to contribute, you might [https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thetinkersguild/emergency-response-production-for-medical-devices--t48636.html consider registering here]

== Protocol ==

It's essential to follow health and safety protocol when getting involved:

* If you have any of the these symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath) do not get involved in any of the projects

* Even non-symptomatic people can carry and transmit the virus, therefore when handling material or making items always wear a mask.

Members, see [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oWOMFBHGY8zipdVBf5ezmlfQ4fJ6rHM7b6PllxF2Nxg/edit MN COVID War Facility Access Policy] for more details.

This email was just sent out from Dan Woods to all TechShop employees. I’m posting it here because I know that many of you don’t check your email.

Dear Former TechShop Employees,

This evening TechShop's bankruptcy counsel are filing for Chatper-7 bankruptcy protection. I cannot begin to express the depth of my disappointment that we were unable to get the company cash-flow positive and positioned to service the company’s debt.

I want you to know that first and foremost among our objectives in deferring Chapter-7 filing for the past months was to find a solution where employees, instructors and other stakeholders would receive the best possible outcome given the circumstances. In the final analysis, this proved impossible, and the potential investment groups were unable to reach a satisfactory deal with secured creditors. but we felt we needed to give it our very best shot.

I am sorry. I realize those three words are of little solace and won't cure the pain. Still, I want you to know that from the bottom of my heart, I deeply regret that we didn't get the company turned around on my watch, and I continue to agonize every day over the closure and the position this left so many of you in. It sucks. I would do anything to reverse the outcome. I was only the CEO for the final 15 months, but I was the CEO when we closed. So the buck stops with me.

Please know, that regardless of your personal feelings, you can always email me directly at my personal email address: [REDACTED per Michael Erickson request].

I realize that many former employees are no longer checking their TechShop email and soon, it will be turned off altogether. Please consider forwarding this to fellow former employees at their personal email addresses.

Wishing you all the very best in your next endeavor. If I can be of assistance with letters of reference please don't hesitate to let me know.

Warmes Regards,

Dan

== News on Individual TechShops: ==

===Austin===

12/8 (post from Dan Rasure on TechShop2.0 FB group) "targeting San Francisco, Detroit,and Austin as the first 3 shops to open. "

c12/15 (extracted from posts on FB)... The County initially petitioned the courts over nonpayment of taxes back in July 2017 (probably over taxes due 31 January 2017) .The TechShop higher-ups hung a lock on things 2 days before the court date in JP Court 2, and probably didn't bother to show up. default judgement to the county. Tax lien forfeiture notice sent on Nov 17.

From the [http://judicialrecords.wilco.org/default.aspx Wilco Search] page click on Civil, Family & Probate Case Records, then select the Search by Case radio button. Put this case # in the search field: 17-0819-T425 and click search. As of 12/19, there isn't much info there other than a note on who the defendants and plaintiffs are, and what happened on the 12th.

Digging a little deeper in the WilCo tax records. When I look at the paid tax records for Techshop 1.0, the only paid receipt that I found was for 2013 - and they were paid 2/25/2014 -- 25 days after the drop dead date of 1/31/2014. Anything paid late has a penalty added in. So TS 1.0 was late paying their taxes.

When I pull up the equivalent tax page for Lowe's, right next door, there are tax statements from 2012 through 2017.

What this tells me is that TS 1.0 did not pay their $413 taxes for 2014, 2015, 2016 OR 2017. If TS1.0 had paid their taxes for those years, there would have been a payment record.

12/29 (Quote from St. Louis Post-Dispatch Article) “Detroit, San Francisco, Austin and Chandler, Ariz., are on our priority list” to reopen, Rasure said Thursday. “We are pushing hard to reopen some shops within the next few weeks.”

===San Francisco===

2/12 (from Techshop 2.0 website) TechShop 2.0 San Francisco to open February 19th, 2018
On February 12th Dan Rasure announced that TechShop 2.0 San Francisco will be the first TechShop 2.0 to open. This has been in the works since TechShop closed on November 15th, 2017. In the coming days and weeks we hope to announce more shop openings.
One of our first priorities will be to make sure all tools and equipment are safe and within normal operating condition. We will also begin tracking usage to make sure we have the right amount of equipment available. Our goal is to support our members by ensuring we have the proper amount of tools and equipment to meet member demand.

2/19 TheShop.build opens its doors to new members in the old TSSF location. Great news for the maker community!

11/21 from Meetup event and recordings [https://www.meetup.com/MakersOfPhoenix/events/245162146/ Town Hall attended by press, officials, and Dan Rasure]

12/5 From Adafruit Interview: "And the Chandler, Arizona facility and the Brooklyn facility were a partnership with either Arizona State or the city of New York. So we’re trying to get through that process as well. And given that a public entity is involved, it’s not just about calling up the landlord and saying, hey, we did this. Can we come in and get to work. It is a more extensive process."

12/27 (post from TechShop Thereafter FB group): "a post from one of our Chandler City Councilmen (Mark Stewart) that TS Chandler is being re-opened as a local effort between the city and ASU. "

===San Jose===

12/5 From Adafruit Interview: "The San Jose location is a brand new or almost brand new facility, but it doesn’t have — the parking situation is a little bit questionable. It also doesn’t have a ton of space in that facility. So we’re evaluating our options there."

The Holiday Season is Upon Us...Gifts Abound!

We are grateful for the support, cheers and involvement from customers and sponsors as we drive on toward opening Factory Unlocked.

We have a signed letter of intent with our future landlord and are moving to finalize our lease. The location is sizable - over 30,000 SF and in the City of Pittsburgh. Logistics are challenging to meet all of the considerations we must provide in order to develop the start-up space and production needs...but we are getting there!

We expect to commence build out in January and are considering a soft opening with lasers for production and a full prototype studio with computers, software and 3D printers on the first day with metal, wood and machine shops right behind them within 30-40 days.

Thank you for reaching out from last week for your inquiries and we hope our responses fulfilled what you had hoped. Please let me know if you have any comments, questions or concerns.

Have a wonderful holiday season

On February 9, someone passing by observed several notices attached to the door. One was a letter of January 29, from Harry Price to Dan Woods, stating the TechShop failed to pay the rent due on November 1, 2017, and that the premisses had been abandoned on November 15, 2017. The letter asks Woods to remove the shop tools and equipment by February 18, 2018. If the property is not claimed by February 18, it will be sold at a public sale.

== News on Individual TechShops: ==

===Austin===

12/8 (post from Dan Rasure on TechShop2.0 FB group) "targeting San Francisco, Detroit,and Austin as the first 3 shops to open. "

c12/15 (extracted from posts on FB)... The County initially petitioned the courts over nonpayment of taxes back in July 2017 (probably over taxes due 31 January 2017) .The TechShop higher-ups hung a lock on things 2 days before the court date in JP Court 2, and probably didn't bother to show up. default judgement to the county. Tax lien forfeiture notice sent on Nov 17.

From the [http://judicialrecords.wilco.org/default.aspx Wilco Search] page click on Civil, Family & Probate Case Records, then select the Search by Case radio button. Put this case # in the search field: 17-0819-T425 and click search. As of 12/19, there isn't much info there other than a note on who the defendants and plaintiffs are, and what happened on the 12th.

Digging a little deeper in the WilCo tax records. When I look at the paid tax records for Techshop 1.0, the only paid receipt that I found was for 2013 - and they were paid 2/25/2014 -- 25 days after the drop dead date of 1/31/2014. Anything paid late has a penalty added in. So TS 1.0 was late paying their taxes.

When I pull up the equivalent tax page for Lowe's, right next door, there are tax statements from 2012 through 2017.

What this tells me is that TS 1.0 did not pay their $413 taxes for 2014, 2015, 2016 OR 2017. If TS1.0 had paid their taxes for those years, there would have been a payment record.

12/29 (Quote from St. Louis Post-Dispatch Article) “Detroit, San Francisco, Austin and Chandler, Ariz., are on our priority list” to reopen, Rasure said Thursday. “We are pushing hard to reopen some shops within the next few weeks.”

2/12 (from Techshop 2.0 website) TechShop 2.0 San Francisco to open February 19th, 2018
On February 12th Dan Rasure announced that TechShop 2.0 San Francisco will be the first TechShop 2.0 to open. This has been in the works since TechShop closed on November 15th, 2017. In the coming days and weeks we hope to announce more shop openings.
One of our first priorities will be to make sure all tools and equipment are safe and within normal operating condition. We will also begin tracking usage to make sure we have the right amount of equipment available. Our goal is to support our members by ensuring we have the proper amount of tools and equipment to meet member demand.

The Holiday Season is Upon Us...Gifts Abound!

We are grateful for the support, cheers and involvement from customers and sponsors as we drive on toward opening Factory Unlocked.

We have a signed letter of intent with our future landlord and are moving to finalize our lease. The location is sizable - over 30,000 SF and in the City of Pittsburgh. Logistics are challenging to meet all of the considerations we must provide in order to develop the start-up space and production needs...but we are getting there!

We expect to commence build out in January and are considering a soft opening with lasers for production and a full prototype studio with computers, software and 3D printers on the first day with metal, wood and machine shops right behind them within 30-40 days.

Thank you for reaching out from last week for your inquiries and we hope our responses fulfilled what you had hoped. Please let me know if you have any comments, questions or concerns.

Have a wonderful holiday season

As you know, Dan Rasure had been negotiating with Autodesk, Lowe's, TechShop and landlords regarding his desire to acquire assets and re-open several TechShop locations. However, after consulting with the secured creditors and under advisement of our attorneys TechShop, Inc's Board of Directors has concluded that there is no imminent agreement in play between Mr. Rasure and either the secured creditors or TechShop, Inc. Therefore, we will be moving ahead with Chapter-7 filing.

Further, there is absolutely no relationship between Mr. Rasure's TechShop 2.0 entity and TechShop, Inc. or it's LLCs.

Mr. Rasure's representations online and social media are his own. We are aware that yesterday he promised to open a makerspace in TechShop San Francisco's former location by next Monday. However, we (nor any of our partners or secured creditors) were party to that agreement.

I can be reached at (redacted phone number) if you or anyone on your team would like to discuss further.

Warm Regards,

Dan

1/13 From TechShop 2.0 Facebook report from Nick Michlig "The latest at mid penn: lots of stuff in the trash cans and dumpsters, including equipment and cars"
Comment from Michael Erickson "It actually just looks like some rusted scrap metal from the shop and Dave Howard’s office. Sadly, the cars have been that way for a while."

[[File:HarryPrice1.jpg|thumb|Letter from Harry Price to Dan Woods, page 2]]
On February 9, someone passing by observed several notices attached to the door. One was a letter of January 29, from Harry Price to Dan Woods, stating the TechShop failed to pay the rent due on November 1, 2017, and that the premisses had been abandoned on November 15, 2017. The letter asks Woods to remove the shop tools and equipment by February 18, 2018. If the property is not claimed by February 18, it will be sold at a public sale.

== News on Individual TechShops: ==

===Austin===

12/8 (post from Dan Rasure on TechShop2.0 FB group) "targeting San Francisco, Detroit,and Austin as the first 3 shops to open. "

c12/15 (extracted from posts on FB)... The County initially petitioned the courts over nonpayment of taxes back in July 2017 (probably over taxes due 31 January 2017) .The TechShop higher-ups hung a lock on things 2 days before the court date in JP Court 2, and probably didn't bother to show up. default judgement to the county. Tax lien forfeiture notice sent on Nov 17.

From the [http://judicialrecords.wilco.org/default.aspx Wilco Search] page click on Civil, Family & Probate Case Records, then select the Search by Case radio button. Put this case # in the search field: 17-0819-T425 and click search. As of 12/19, there isn't much info there other than a note on who the defendants and plaintiffs are, and what happened on the 12th.

Digging a little deeper in the WilCo tax records. When I look at the paid tax records for Techshop 1.0, the only paid receipt that I found was for 2013 - and they were paid 2/25/2014 -- 25 days after the drop dead date of 1/31/2014. Anything paid late has a penalty added in. So TS 1.0 was late paying their taxes.

When I pull up the equivalent tax page for Lowe's, right next door, there are tax statements from 2012 through 2017.

What this tells me is that TS 1.0 did not pay their $413 taxes for 2014, 2015, 2016 OR 2017. If TS1.0 had paid their taxes for those years, there would have been a payment record.

12/29 (Quote from St. Louis Post-Dispatch Article) “Detroit, San Francisco, Austin and Chandler, Ariz., are on our priority list” to reopen, Rasure said Thursday. “We are pushing hard to reopen some shops within the next few weeks.”

===San Francisco===

2/12 (from Techshop 2.0 website) TechShop 2.0 San Francisco to open February 19th, 2018
On February 12th Dan Rasure announced that TechShop 2.0 San Francisco will be the first TechShop 2.0 to open. This has been in the works since TechShop closed on November 15th, 2017. In the coming days and weeks we hope to announce more shop openings.
One of our first priorities will be to make sure all tools and equipment are safe and within normal operating condition. We will also begin tracking usage to make sure we have the right amount of equipment available. Our goal is to support our members by ensuring we have the proper amount of tools and equipment to meet member demand.

11/21 from Meetup event and recordings [https://www.meetup.com/MakersOfPhoenix/events/245162146/ Town Hall attended by press, officials, and Dan Rasure]

12/5 From Adafruit Interview: "And the Chandler, Arizona facility and the Brooklyn facility were a partnership with either Arizona State or the city of New York. So we’re trying to get through that process as well. And given that a public entity is involved, it’s not just about calling up the landlord and saying, hey, we did this. Can we come in and get to work. It is a more extensive process."

12/27 (post from TechShop Thereafter FB group): "a post from one of our Chandler City Councilmen (Mark Stewart) that TS Chandler is being re-opened as a local effort between the city and ASU. "

===San Jose===

12/5 From Adafruit Interview: "The San Jose location is a brand new or almost brand new facility, but it doesn’t have — the parking situation is a little bit questionable. It also doesn’t have a ton of space in that facility. So we’re evaluating our options there."

12/22 Reported on FB:
This is the last email I receive December 22 --

The Holiday Season is Upon Us...Gifts Abound!

We are grateful for the support, cheers and involvement from customers and sponsors as we drive on toward opening Factory Unlocked.

We have a signed letter of intent with our future landlord and are moving to finalize our lease. The location is sizable - over 30,000 SF and in the City of Pittsburgh. Logistics are challenging to meet all of the considerations we must provide in order to develop the start-up space and production needs...but we are getting there!

We expect to commence build out in January and are considering a soft opening with lasers for production and a full prototype studio with computers, software and 3D printers on the first day with metal, wood and machine shops right behind them within 30-40 days.

Thank you for reaching out from last week for your inquiries and we hope our responses fulfilled what you had hoped. Please let me know if you have any comments, questions or concerns.

Have a wonderful holiday season

1/19/2018: [Reported on FB] I talked to the Sheriff office - they will start eviction of TechShop Arlington on January 23, at 10am. I explained them the situation with the members storage and lack of access - they didn’t realize there was such problem, now they do.

== News on Individual TechShops: ==

* '''Austin'''

12/8 (post from Dan Rasure on TechShop2.0 FB group) "targeting San Francisco, Detroit,and Austin as the first 3 shops to open. "

12/29 (Quote from St. Louis Post-Dispatch Article) “Detroit, San Francisco, Austin and Chandler, Ariz., are on our priority list” to reopen, Rasure said Thursday. “We are pushing hard to reopen some shops within the next few weeks.”

c12/15 (extracted from posts on FB)... The County initially petitioned the courts over nonpayment of taxes back in July 2017 (probably over taxes due 31 January 2017) .The TechShop higher-ups hung a lock on things 2 days before the court date in JP Court 2, and probably didn't bother to show up. default judgement to the county. Tax lien forfeiture notice sent on Nov 17.

From the [http://judicialrecords.wilco.org/default.aspx Wilco Search] page click on Civil, Family & Probate Case Records, then select the Search by Case radio button. Put this case # in the search field: 17-0819-T425 and click search. As of 12/19, there isn't much info there other than a note on who the defendants and plaintiffs are, and what happened on the 12th.

Digging a little deeper in the WilCo tax records. When I look at the paid tax records for Techshop 1.0, the only paid receipt that I found was for 2013 - and they were paid 2/25/2014 -- 25 days after the drop dead date of 1/31/2014. Anything paid late has a penalty added in. So TS 1.0 was late paying their taxes.

When I pull up the equivalent tax page for Lowe's, right next door, there are tax statements from 2012 through 2017.

What this tells me is that TS 1.0 did not pay their $413 taxes for 2014, 2015, 2016 OR 2017. If TS1.0 had paid their taxes for those years, there would have been a payment record.

* '''San Francisco'''

12/8 (post from Dan Rasure on TechShop2.0 FB group) "targeting San Francisco, Detroit,and Austin as the first 3 shops to open. "

* '''Chandler/ASU'''

11/21 from Meetup event and recordings [https://www.meetup.com/MakersOfPhoenix/events/245162146/ Town Hall attended by press, officials, and Dan Rasure]

12/5 From Adafruit Interview: "And the Chandler, Arizona facility and the Brooklyn facility were a partnership with either Arizona State or the city of New York. So we’re trying to get through that process as well. And given that a public entity is involved, it’s not just about calling up the landlord and saying, hey, we did this. Can we come in and get to work. It is a more extensive process."

12/27 (post from TechShop Thereafter FB group): "a post from one of our Chandler City Councilmen (Mark Stewart) that TS Chandler is being re-opened as a local effort between the city and ASU. "

12/29 (Quote from St. Louis Post-Dispatch Article) “Detroit, San Francisco, Austin and Chandler, Ariz., are on our priority list” to reopen, Rasure said Thursday. “We are pushing hard to reopen some shops within the next few weeks.”

Can we come in and get to work. It is a more extensive process."

* '''San Jose'''

12/5 From Adafruit Interview: "The San Jose location is a brand new or almost brand new facility, but it doesn’t have — the parking situation is a little bit questionable. It also doesn’t have a ton of space in that facility. So we’re evaluating our options there."

* '''St Louis'''

1/13 From TechShop 2.0 Facebook report from Nick Michlig "The latest at mid penn- lots of stuff in the trash cans and dumpsters - including equipment and cars"
Comment from Michael Erickson "It actually just looks like some rusted scrap metal from the shop and Dave Howard’s office. Sadly, the cars have been that way for a while."

What this tells me is that TS 1.0 did not pay their $413 taxes for 2014, 2015, 2016 OR 2017. If TS1.0 had paid their taxes for those years, there would have been a payment record.

12/8 (post from Dan Rasure on TechShop2.0 FB group) "targeting San Francisco, Detroit,and Austin as the first 3 shops to open. "

12/29 (Quote from St. Louis Post-Dispatch Article) “Detroit, San Francisco, Austin and Chandler, Ariz., are on our priority list” to reopen, Rasure said Thursday. “We are pushing hard to reopen some shops within the next few weeks.”

c12/15 (extracted from posts on FB)... The County initially petitioned the courts over nonpayment of taxes back in July 2017 (probably over taxes due 31 January 2017) .The TechShop higher-ups hung a lock on things 2 days before the court date in JP Court 2, and probably didn't bother to show up. default judgement to the county. Tax lien forfeiture notice sent on Nov 17.

From the [http://judicialrecords.wilco.org/default.aspx Wilco Search] page click on Civil, Family & Probate Case Records, then select the Search by Case radio button. Put this case # in the search field: 17-0819-T425 and click search. As of 12/19, there isn't much info there other than a note on who the defendants and plaintiffs are, and what happened on the 12th.

Digging a little deeper in the WilCo tax records. When I look at the paid tax records for Techshop 1.0, the only paid receipt that I found was for 2013 - and they were paid 2/25/2014 -- 25 days after the drop dead date of 1/31/2014. Anything paid late has a penalty added in. So TS 1.0 was late paying their taxes.

When I pull up the equivalent tax page for Lowe's, right next door, there are tax statements from 2012 through 2017.

What this tells me is that TS 1.0 did not pay their $413 taxes for 2014, 2015, 2016 OR 2017. If TS1.0 had paid their taxes for those years, there would have been a payment record.

12/5 From Adafruit Interview: "And the Chandler, Arizona facility and the Brooklyn facility were a partnership with either Arizona State or the city of New York. So we’re trying to get through that process as well. And given that a public entity is involved, it’s not just about calling up the landlord and saying, hey, we did this.

== News on Individual TechShops: ==

* '''Austin'''

12/8 (post from Dan Rasure on TechShop2.0 FB group) "targeting San Francisco, Detroit,and Austin as the first 3 shops to open. "

12/29 (Quote from St. Louis Post-Dispatch Article) “Detroit, San Francisco, Austin and Chandler, Ariz., are on our priority list” to reopen, Rasure said Thursday. “We are pushing hard to reopen some shops within the next few weeks.”

c12/15 (extracted from posts on FB)... The County initially petitioned the courts over nonpayment of taxes back in July 2017 (probably over taxes due 31 January 2017) .The TechShop higher-ups hung a lock on things 2 days before the court date in JP Court 2, and probably didn't bother to show up. default judgement to the county. Tax lien forfeiture notice sent on Nov 17.

From the [http://judicialrecords.wilco.org/default.aspx Wilco Search] page click on Civil, Family & Probate Case Records, then select the Search by Case radio button. Put this case # in the search field: 17-0819-T425 and click search. As of 12/19, there isn't much info there other than a note on who the defendants and plaintiffs are, and what happened on the 12th.

Digging a little deeper in the WilCo tax records. When I look at the paid tax records for Techshop 1.0, the only paid receipt that I found was for 2013 - and they were paid 2/25/2014 -- 25 days after the drop dead date of 1/31/2014. Anything paid late has a penalty added in. So TS 1.0 was late paying their taxes.

When I pull up the equivalent tax page for Lowe's, right next door, there are tax statements from 2012 through 2017.

What this tells me is that TS 1.0 did not pay their $413 taxes for 2014, 2015, 2016 OR 2017. If TS1.0 had paid their taxes for those years, there would have been a payment record.

11/21 from Meetup event and recordings [https://www.meetup.com/MakersOfPhoenix/events/245162146/ Town Hall attended by press, officials, and Dan Rasure]

12/5 From Adafruit Interview: "And the Chandler, Arizona facility and the Brooklyn facility were a partnership with either Arizona State or the city of New York. So we’re trying to get through that process as well. And given that a public entity is involved, it’s not just about calling up the landlord and saying, hey, we did this. Can we come in and get to work. It is a more extensive process."

12/27 (post from TechShop Thereafter FB group): "a post from one of our Chandler City Councilmen (Mark Stewart) that TS Chandler is being re-opened as a local effort between the city and ASU. "

== News on Individual TechShops: ==

* '''Austin'''

12/8 (post from Dan Rasure on TechShop2.0 FB group) "targeting San Francisco, Detroit,and Austin as the first 3 shops to open. "

12/29 (Quote from St. Louis Post-Dispatch Article) “Detroit, San Francisco, Austin and Chandler, Ariz., are on our priority list” to reopen, Rasure said Thursday. “We are pushing hard to reopen some shops within the next few weeks.”

c12/15 (extracted from posts on FB)... The County initially petitioned the courts over nonpayment of taxes back in July 2017 (probably over taxes due 31 January 2017) .The TechShop higher-ups hung a lock on things 2 days before the court date in JP Court 2, and probably didn't bother to show up. default judgement to the county. Tax lien forfeiture notice sent on Nov 17.

From the [http://judicialrecords.wilco.org/default.aspx Wilco Search] page click on Civil, Family & Probate Case Records, then select the Search by Case radio button. Put this case # in the search field: 17-0819-T425 and click search. As of 12/19, there isn't much info there other than a note on who the defendants and plaintiffs are, and what happened on the 12th.

Digging a little deeper in the WilCo tax records. When I look at the paid tax records for Techshop 1.0, the only paid receipt that I found was for 2013 - and they were paid 2/25/2014 -- 25 days after the drop dead date of 1/31/2014. Anything paid late has a penalty added in. So TS 1.0 was late paying their taxes.

When I pull up the equivalent tax page for Lowe's, right next door, there are tax statements from 2012 through 2017.

What this tells me is that TS 1.0 did not pay their $413 taxes for 2014, 2015, 2016 OR 2017. If TS1.0 had paid their taxes for those years, there would have been a payment record.

* '''San Francisco'''

11/21 from Meetup event and recordings [https://www.meetup.com/MakersOfPhoenix/events/245162146/ Town Hall attended by press, officials, and Dan Rasure]

12/5 From Adafruit Interview: "And the Chandler, Arizona facility and the Brooklyn facility were a partnership with either Arizona State or the city of New York. So we’re trying to get through that process as well. And given that a public entity is involved, it’s not just about calling up the landlord and saying, hey, we did this. Can we come in and get to work. It is a more extensive process."

12/27 (post from TechShop Thereafter FB group): "a post from one of our Chandler City Councilmen (Mark Stewart) that TS Chandler is being re-opened as a local effort between the city and ASU. "
