Trustees Sign Loan Papers

Today Shiloh Trustees Tom Yancey, Billy Storke and Frank Moore closed on the loan for the Family Life Center in the law offices of Billingsley and Sneed. Church legal counsel Jack Billingsley and his assistant Nancy Jennings led them through the Union Bank & Trust paperwork. The lending package provides a one year interest only construction loan followed by twenty years of permanent financing in accordance with the resolution voted by the church. The mortgage will be recorded with the county on Monday Jan 30.

Asphalt Removal Complete

The excavation contractor (Reuwer and Son Excavating LLC) has removed the section of the parking lot where the new building will be located. Initial grading is complete. The old septic tank has been removed as well as an even older one we knew nothing about. Some soft areas in the construction site were revealed by the core samples and must be excavated and refilled with suitable soil before we can start digging the footings. Additional fill dirt will be required to achieve the final grade contours. This dirt will be taken from the ridge in the rear of the Shiloh Cemetary. By using our dirt we reduce the cost of the fill. Reducing the ridge will create more usable area in the cemetary.

Construction Begins!

At long last, heavy equipment has begun demolition of the parking lot to make way for Shiloh Baptist Church's new Family Life Center. Designed by the De Stefano Design Group of Midlothian and constructed by J. H. Batten, Inc. of North Carolina, the single-story building will add nearly 8,000 square feet of fellowship space. It includes a new kitchen and plenty of room for future drama productions. Outside, a two-lane covered portico will accommodate inclement weather passenger drop-off and pick-up for both the fellowship hall and the sanctuary.
