Old Business Building Update: ● David announced that we may be able to potentially close on the building in mid-September. The city engineer has expedited the process involving the final plan and issues with having to close a street on the property. The engineer made it possible to close on the property prior to the street issue being completed…as it will most likely take quite a bit longer. ● Sarah has met with Chad Beyer, the architect, and shared several renderings of the interior and exterior of the building. The will be meeting with MP Lawson contractors for a site visit. ● David has spoken with the county, and they indicate that the pledged $300,000.00 contribution will be forthcoming but not on a specific time-line. We are anticipating that it may occur once we close on the new building and perhaps have an opportunity for some media coverage with the county along with the contribution. ● Fundraising/ Grants: As per Sarah’s report, she has applied for and received several grants lately. New Business ● Sarah indicated that we have two teams from the United Way scheduled to distribute food for our Feed & Flourish progam and help with some of EHomes projects on Friday, 8/29/25. ● A discussion was held concerning the building lot on Kentucky Avenue.
