Moving Forward with Expansion Plans
The Large Project Team (LPT) has now met with the architect,and we are in the process of working on floor plans that will incorporate the needs and priorities for each Club. Our Board of Directors and Group Coordinators are working with this first draft to clarify our needs and work flows within the determined footprint which is significantly larger than we currently have. Massaging this first draft will take a few weeks so please be patient.
As was mentioned previously, we are in the Design Phase of the Large Project Development Process. During this phase, there will be several approvals needed by The Grand Board of Directors. Since we are the first large project to go through this process, there is a learning curve, and we will do our best to navigate through the various steps.
The Project Manager, Ken Feldman, has put together a project schedule and because of the time it will take for the various steps and the several approvals needed by The Grand Board of Directors, actual construction is not expected to begin until this next spring. This can work in the Clubs’ favor in that most of the construction can then occur during the late spring, summer, and early fall months.
We strive to present the most recent information to each of you. Please keep in mind that the schedule will likely have changes as we go through the rest of Design and then into the Construction Phases.
