The Building Committee
In 2009, the Building Committee was formed by the Vestry to oversee the
projects to be undertaken with Capital Campaign funds. This includes:
- Assessing the conditions of our buildings and grounds
- Identifying the critical bricks and mortar projects
- Prioritizing those projects to insure that the most mission critical
ones are addressed first
- Interfacing with architects and contractors to ensure that projects
are scheduled in a timely and appropriate manner
- Managing the cash flow needed to provide payment for the projects
- Reporting their work to the Vestry, Capital Campaign Steering Committee
and congregation
The Committee commissioned 2 studies which were conducted by the firm
of Connolly and Hickey, Preservation Architects. They produced an Historic
Preservation plan for the Church and another for the Parish House. They
conducted an in-depth analysis of the condition of each of the buildings.
They outlined the projects that need to be completed, along with cost
estimates for each and they divided the work for each building into 3
phases with the highest priority projects identified as Phase 1 projects
to be undertaken as soon as possible. Grants from the Community Development
Block Grant Association and the Morris County Historic Preservation Trust
Fund have been awarded to date in the amount of approximately $190,000.
