The Inside Scoop

I'm glad you've discovered the blog where I will be making updates on the status/progress of our expansion project to add our new Worship Center and expand our parking.

Here is where we currently stand.
-Parking-
We are waiting to hear back from the City of Cibolo concerning a water detention pond. This is something we were told at the first of the year we would need. It was news to us. We are working with our Civil Engineer to see if there is a way to use a more eco-friendly surface or if there is another approach we can take to eliminate or delay the need for water detention. We are praying that we can either phase in the parking plan to include water detention when we add our last phase of parking or that we can create a different parking plan that won't require the detention. After we have a final word here, we will let you know where things stand.

-Construction-
The work with the Architects to have a finalized plan to send out for hard bids to contractors should be complete by March. We had hoped to complete this before the end of the year (2009). There are several engineer specs coming from several different entities to complete these documents. We had previously anticipated a Spring start date but there have been some minor delays. It's really hard to predict at this point a start date. Once a contractor is selected and they submit our plans to the City we will have a solid understanding of a probable time line.

-In the meantime-
Keep praying for this project! Thank you for your generous support. The sacrifice will be more than worth it!
