Burlington City Council met last night and voted to allow our application for rezoning. This was a big day, in deed. There is now a 30 day period for appeal, however, we do not expect any opposition. City councilors and staff have repeatedly assured us that ours was not a contentious rezoning.
Successful rezoning fulfills the final condition, allowing us to close on the land purchase. The next step is site plan approval. Continue to hold all of this project and the Building Committee in your prayers. Pray for the mission field we are entering in Alton Village. Pray that we would find creative ways to serve our community. Pray for our Ward 6 Councilor, Blair Lancaster, and our Mayor Rick Goldring. Pray, giving thanks to God.
Revised design, budget and timeline will be presented at a special meeting of the membership on Sunday, September 9th at 12 noon. Information packets have been available since early July. We will meet on Sunday to, God willing, ratify these changes and move forward.
