As many of you are aware, we have what is hopefully a minor delay in beginning the construction phase of the building project. The La Crosse County Zoning Ordinance requires certain minimum setbacks and/or requirements for construction projects. If a construction project cannot meet the requirements set forth in the Zoning Ordinance, the application is denied and a legal notice is published in the newspaper. The denial is appealed by requesting a variance. Due to zoning changes we had to apply for a variance from the county.
The denial of Halfway Creek’s zoning permit was recently published so some of you may have read it in the newspaper. This is a normal legal requirement of the zoning and occupancy process so please do not worry. We are on the agenda for their May meeting as well as on the Town of Onalaska’s planning commission meeting and the monthly board meeting. We have been communicating with both the county and the town and are feeling confident that this variance will be granted and we will be able to begin construction sometime near mid-May.

On Thursday, March 20th, The Second Century Committee (SCC) opened bids for the new building addition. We received three bids from general contractors. The bids were very favorable to us as they were lower than our estimates. After reviewing the bids, the SCC agreed to recommend to the Vision Board to enter into contract with Olympic Builders to be our general contractor for the addition. Olympic was not the lowest bidder, but after discussing the bids, the committee made the recommendation to hire Olympic. The low bidder has not done a project this large. Olympic and some of their sub contractors have ties with the congregation. The committee was very comfortable to make this recommendation.

Share We are getting close to breaking ground for the new addition to the church! We are hoping to break ground on Monday, April 21.
There will be a groundbreaking ceremony on Easter Sunday, April 20, at the end of both the 8:00 and 10:30 services. We will celebrate an exciting journey as well as pray for God’s hand to guide the construction phase of the project.
Please bring a shovel, hard hats, and anything else that is construction related to help celebrate the day!
The most current building plans are on the Halfway Creek website.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support throughout this process!
