At the 2021 Fall General Assembly, we will vote on
ONE final building recommendation
In September 2019, a special GA was held to vote on a
seven-person leadership committee
Their charter:
1. Develop a long-range plan for the facility
2. Meet the needs for the next 50 years (through 2070)
3. Based on the community's input, make one final building recommendation:
to rehab, rebuild, relocate or repair our current facilities as we go*
4. Include supporting financial and logistical plans
with the final building recommendation
5. Use the work of the previous committees
to build from as a foundation
* In 2017, a discussion of our long-term needs and wants for our facilities led to three subcommittees that were formed to explore and develop the followingM building options... :
REHAB, REBUILD, RELOCATE or REPAIR AS WE GO
[cost estimates are approximate and may be dated]
