We are underway! The design has been unveiled (visible in the undercroft) and the architects (Moody-Graham Landscape Architects) are in conversation with the city (for permits, etc.). The estimated cost: $250,000. Before beginning construction, the Vestry has discerned that we must raise 10% of this amount, i.e. $25,000.
