The site construction is almost complete in preparation for commencement of the building construction. The asphalt pavement binder course has been installed. Final grading and loaming of the retention area in front of the house has been completed. An asphalt pavement sidewalk has been installed in the rear yard of the house to provide access to the chapel in the lower level from the parking area. The site contractor has cleaned up the site.
The Building Plans have been approved by the East Greenwich Fire Department and are currently being reviewed by the Town Building Inspector. Our general contractor is awaiting final approval from our architects and their structural engineer for the steel shop drawings. We are ready to commence construction as soon as the Building Permit is available but the Building Committee has not given our general contractor the green light.
Financing Considerations
The Temple had obtained a loan commitment conditioned upon the Temple having a signed Purchase and Sale Agreement. If we receive an acceptable offer from the Church, we will be able to proceed with our construction on schedule. If not, our loan commitment needs to be renegotiated. We are also investigating obtaining financing with other financial institutions. We have paid the Site Contractor for its work to date and have ample funds to pay the general contractor for its work to date as well. Before the Temple proceeds with the building construction, it needs to finalize the financing of the East Greenwich project. If the sale of the building does not materialize, there are different financing alternatives available such as mortgaging both the Cranston and East Greenwich properties. The Building Committee and Finance Committee are optimistic that financing for the project will be obtained. The Building Committee will be reviewing the feasibility of different scenarios in an effort to keep the construction project on schedule.
