There are a lot of exciting things happening this week as we are getting ready to break ground on the new sanctuary building in September. Here’s what’s happening in our construction project this week.

KEY TALKING POINTS:

Loop Road Completion

    1. The new **loop road is finished** and will be open for use on **Sunday, June 15th
    2. This is a key improvement that will significantly improve traffic flow on campus, especially during peak arrival and departure times.

Tent Installations for Shuttle Waiting Areas

      1. We’ve ordered two large 15×30 tents to create shuttle waiting areas in Lot E
      2. The tents will also have benches for seating once they are installed
  • We’re still waiting for shipping information and a delivery date, but the plan is to install them as soon as they arrive

Facilities Building is Nearly Completed 

  • Once complete, it will house:
      1. Golf carts and people movers
      2. Our maintenance team’s workshop
      3. Long-term storage for certain items
    2. This will centralize and streamline many of our operational needs.

The Storage Barn at the Roseman House is Being Removed

    1. It is scheduled for tear down and removal in the next two weeks.
    2. This step is necessary to make room for the fire access road
    3. This is an important piece to comply with the City of Hickory requirements as part of the larger construction plan.
