Making Headway...


The last report I shared was not a good one. We were looking at a VERY EXPENSIVE water detention system that was going to be for all practical purposes a dam. We’ve worked with the City of Cibolo and our Civil Engineer and come up with a viable solution. We had to give up some parking to the master plan but we’ve come up with a detention solution that is about 10% of the cost of the dam. Bids for immediately adding around 50 parking spaces should be back next week. Then we can pick a contractor and start moving dirt!

As for the new Worship Center we keep hitting bumps that delay, getting our Construction Documents complete. They won’t be completed in March but all signs point to the first half of April for completed documents. Then the City will review them and indicate needed code changes. Once those are back we will be able to put the project out to bid.

I’ve never been part of a commercial construction project and I am learning much more about the process than I ever thought I would. It certainly takes much more time than I ever anticipated just getting completed drawings that are ready for contractors to bid and do the work. Keep the faith and know that soon we will be seeing earth moving equipment in front of our property. I BELIEVE!
