New Building Update- August 27, 2017
Laurel Ridge has our current church property under contract, pending approval of re-zoning. We have the Church Alive property at 18850 Redland Rd. under contract to purchase contingent upon the closing of our sale to Laurel Ridge. The Church Alive property is roughly 5 acres with about 6500 sq. ft. of building space. We currently have 10 acres with 4800 sq. ft. of building space.
Laurel Ridge will be sending representatives to the Redland Woods Homeowners Association meeting in late August. Their purpose is to announce their plans to the Homeowners Association and seek their support and cooperation in the re-zoning effort. This would allow them to get onto the docket for the zoning commission meeting in either September or October.
Once the property is re-zoned, a closing date will be set. After closing the sale of our property to Laurel Ridge, we will then close on the purchase of the Church Alive property. We will then have up to 6 months to lease back the building we sold to Laurel Ridge, (our current location) until our new space is ready to occupy. There are a few things we will have to do to the building we are purchasing before we can move in, so we will use the leaseback time to get that work done.
Until then, it is business as usual at Hope! Please pray for a good reception at the Homeowners Association meeting, and for the favor of the zoning commission in approving this request.
