The Capital Project Steering Committee received bids from 4 contractors ranging from $1.5 million to $1.8 million, not including the trellis. We are investigating different scenarios with the engineers, architect, and contractors to alter the design to fit within a $1.2 million budget.

We are also working with finance to understand our options for additional funding. We raised $1,114,565 in Capital Campaign pledges so far, and have spent $239,374 on parking, permits, fees, and architectural/engineering services.

Thank you so very much to all who have pledged and are continuing to pay their Capital Campaign pledges! AND PLEASE, if you have not yet had a chance to contribute, consider making a capital campaign contribution. Watch for a “Pop-Up Capital Campaign” announcement in the near future!
