August 20, 2009 Update

Hey Everyone,

As the summer draws to an end things around here are getting more exciting. We have several new updates:

- Vortek Enterprises has completed all the site clearing work they could possibly do at this time. They still have to fill in some low spots around the property but cannot do that as they do not have enough dirt to do so yet. They will be able to do this once we get final approval from St. Johns Water Management to go ahead and dig the retention pond. Vortek was also able to go ahead and put the flag pole up at the front of the property. In the next couple of weeks we'll be putting in lighting (to fly the flag at night) and ordering new flags.

- The land in the back has all been leveled and graded out and the soccer/football fields and the baseball diamond have all been marked out.

- The final site plans were submitted to the county on Thursday, July 30th. The leadership and staff at Crossroads had the opportunity to sit down with the county council review board to go over the plans. The county as approved the plans as long as some minor changes are made in 30 days or less which will not be a problem.

- The staff and leadership would encourage everyone to come out and see the property. Be sure to check out the plans on Sunday mornings at Samsula Academy, before and after service where you can talk to Mike Elliott and get any questions you may have answered as well.

Thanks for your continued prayers throughout this project
