I'd like to update you on where we stand in our Building Dreams Together campaign. There have been some tremendous achievements to date and we are very close to reaching our goal with thanks to you our supporters.
Great news for all of us – a $2.7 million Grant!If you haven’t already heard, we have received a $2.7 million Community Adjustment Fund (CAF) grant from the federal government that will help us turn our dreams into a reality. Our sincere thank you to the Federal Government for this amazing gift. An estimated $1.5 million of this grant will be earmarked for salaries and wages employing where possible, local trades people thereby benefiting our community even further.
Construction has begun!We would like to welcome our new Construction Manager, Bob Preston who has been hired and is now on site. The construction of the building has begun and the footings have been poured. Additionally, we now have a construction time line to work with and we fully anticipate that we will be moving in throughout the spring and Summer of 2010. For a visual look, check out our You Tube embedded herein. You can also follow the construction process monthly as we will share images as the building progresses and we move forward in anticipation of throwing open the front doors!
Project FundingTo date our community of parents, staff, people CLD supports, volunteers, TOV patrons, friends, various companies and foundations have pledged $604,000.00 to our capital campaign. With the recent federal government grant of 2.7 million, that brings our total fundraised dollars to 3.3 million. Total projected costs to completely finish the project including landscaping, high efficiency heating, walking trails and an outdoor amphitheatre, total approx 4.3 million. We are confident that with your continued support we will be able to make great strides towards our fundraising goal thus reducing our mortgage costs.
