Last week representatives of FBC met with Dow Smith Construction to make plans for our initial phase of construction which was approved June 5. This “bridge phase” will consist of the completion of construction drawings for all three areas (new north parking lot, new entrance, and renovation of area behind the sanctuary). In addition, their civil engineers will be meeting with city, county, and state o cials to gain approval of all plans. These plans will then need to be approved by the deacons. This initial phase will take approximately two to three months. Actual construction is estimated to begin in early October. In the immediate future the project engineer and civil engineer will begin surveys of our existing building. As work progresses we will keep the congregation informed.
