Battle Creek Skatepark Project

Updates

by webmaster on August 11, 2010

We haven’t posted quite sometime so here are some updates.

You wouldn’t believe the red tape we’ve been cutting through and meetings we’ve had to have. We appreciate your patience as we jump through all of the necessary hoops. We had no idea there would be so many hoops, but when people are going to donate their money they are extremely careful, especially these days. With this kind of process, only God can sustain the persistance and drive that it takes to complete such a complicated project.

The website will hopefully be rebuilt soon with the help of a local grant, pending acceptance.

The goal for the business plan is to finish it this weekend. The financial numbers are complete but have to be translated into the proper forms. As well, the community connections portion of the business plan. Both should only take a few hours.

Any more, questions? Just post them, we’ll be checking more regularly now.
