May has been a busy month with the Building on Purpose dinners, accelerated giving efforts, and planning for our multi-purpose building, utility relocation, and future office space remodel.
I have been very encouraged by the response of those who have been able to commit to accelerating their building giving over the next few months. This will greatly help with our lending requirements later this summer and launching our project. We are working toward submitting the plans for our multi-purpose building in late July and breaking ground early this fall!
Late last week we submitted our structural design (steel) of the multipurpose building to the City of Modesto for review. Submitting this piece of the plans should expedite our approval once the full set of plans are submitted in late July. Last week we also submitted our plans for the utility relocation project and expect to hear back in the next 3-4 weeks. Once those plans are approved we will be able to move ahead with that critical part of our project.
In about a week we will begin remodel of the CE building for our offices. We anticipate completing the office renovation in late summer and moving the offices in September.
A lot is about to happen with the construction, please continue to pray for our team in the design and construction of these projects.
Until next week,
Paul
