The scope of work has included: Finding and purchasing the land, interviewing and hiring the architects, designers, and engineers; negotiating and communicating with needed organizations and community members; keeping the congregation involved and informed, working with the Trustees and Finance Committees to determine the financing of the new facility, designing the building, solving many unforeseen issues, determining a viable timeline, obtaining necessary permits, and overseeing construction.
Activities
Attendance at building committee meetings, special congregational meetings, town planning board meetings, and other church committee meetings, when needed. Involvement in Ground Breaking Ceremony, Awareness Gatherings, Major Event, and other building-related activities.
