The New Building construction process was started in February 2024 and we are on track to complete it according to our schedule. In 2019, we announced a six-year plan to build a new structure. It is impossible to predict precisely when the construction will be completed. We are actively working with engineers and architects as well as the county. Completion depends not only upon the county but also upon our ability to raise sufficient funds.

The construction process is quite long. Much of the time is spent on Engineering and Permitting. We are currently in the Engineering and Permitting phase. This is a multi-step process. First, we get approval for the Site Plan. This includes things such as parking, driveway and traffic flow, landscaping, retention pond, and waste water disposal.

Next, we get approval for the Building Plan. This includes things such as the building layout, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and fire safety. Construction will begin after Engineering and Permitting is completed. Finally, the county performs inspection and the final Certificate of Occupancy is issued.

The entire process is subject to our having adequate funding. We have collected a substantial amount. However, due to the scope of the project, we still need to raise a considerable sum.

Please reach out to the Board if you have specific questions about the construction.
