Building Update #4

Some great news everyone!  I recently had a meeting with the City of Greenwood and the subdivision planner to the West of us.  As we all sat around the table attempting to resolve the domino effect that we were experiencing the subdivision planner came up with a fantastic idea that allowed not only us to move forward but also the subdivision!  That means that both of our projects can continue to progress, and hopefully without much further delay.

At this point we have to get back with our engineers to change some of our drainage and road issues and hopefully be able to work with the subdivision in creating a great timing solution that works for both of us.  So, as of right now, our engineering firm is beginning to work on the layout.  Once that is done we will present that to the City and get an initial approval to apply for a land alteration permit (basically allows us to start moving dirt).

The unfortunate part of all of this is that this process has caused us to be about 4-6 months behind our initial desire of breaking ground in December.  The positive part is that this is allowing us to get to know more of the people involved in the project and be able to build positive relationships with them.  In fact, I’d like to give you a few names of people who will be influential in the ongoing progress of our project and ask you to be specifically praying for them.

• Paul Claire (Subdivision Planner)
• Mark Richards (City Engineer)
• Paul Peoni (Assistant Engineer)
• Bill Peeples (City Planner)

All of these men I’ve been able to get to know throughout this process, and I can tell you that I am personally praying for them, and I’d like you to join me.

Well, that’s all for now, keep praying hard and I’ll keep you up to date as things progress!
