Members of the Capital Improvements Steering Group along with the original Fellowship Hall subgroup and Dave Bolt representing media met with Jim Byerly on Tuesday evening, Feb. 26. Jim Byerly is an architect with Huff Morris in Richmond, VA. Jim again presented the concept of expansion and relocating the kitchen and classrooms while adding two new restrooms and additional storage. Following several questions, it was agreed that this is the concept we want to pursue.<br /><br />The next step in the process is to invite interested General Contractors to meet with us and make proposals regarding working in a design build team approach to accomplishing our goal. The team consists of us, the church, and the architect and the General Contractor. The interview process will take place on March 10. Once we have selected a General Contractor, it will allow us to finally begin to approximate and analyze our estimated costs as well as accelerate our efforts to get a building permit. My hopes of work beginning in May may not be accurate but as we take the next step, I will update you. The renovation journey continues. Pray for the Steering Group guiding these efforts.Pastor Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15536137679649423398noreply@blogger.com
