Sounds like a pretty sweet deal for the "private donor".
How much is one person suppose to donate and get zero back in return? We're just appreciative that someone was still willing to help.
build a multi-purpose building and recreational facility
How much will this part cost? Especially considering it will be held to "current standards" (ADA-compliant bathrooms, handicapped parking space, tsunami safe room, etc).
By the time everything is said and done the cost will be around $1,050,000.or a little more over the next few years. That's why the grants and not our pockets. Mahalo to our grant writers for volunteering their time and energy.
Finally, are non-Orchidland residents/owners invited to participate?
YES the grant is for all of district 5.
ON has submitted a grant for $400,000 for the planning phase. We're hoping for good news by the end of Feb,2016 Phase one will be a pavilion with bathrooms and a small office and some type of recreation area. Planning for phase 2 for the community center. I sat on the lot committee at one point in time. We learned where most of the issues were and are now working on resolving them. We need the 501C3 for the grants unless you know someone with really deep pockets that's willing to fund the center. I resigned when the current chair of the committee wanted to and started working with permits. Please keep the conversation flowing. It's the only way I know to resolve the difference and misleading comments and opinions. What is it you want to see in Orchidland or on the OLCA community lot?
