Levin JCC Progress Report #1 June 18, 2010
Progress Report #1
June 18, 2010
This is the first in a series of bi-weekly reports meant to keep you up-to-date with the construction of the Levin JCC. We wouldn’t be at this point if it weren’t for all the work that dozens of committee members have been contributing since 2005. Nor would we be here, of course, without the generous monetary gifts and pledges made by so many throughout the community.
Building construction can appear to be maddeningly slow at times, and at other times it is nothing short of dramatic. Consider the sudden change from a woodsy site to the naked dirt that we have now. Now we come to the slow part: watching our site become a “green” building that is both friendly to the environment and welcoming to the community. The current orange fencing delineates the existing buffers, including the trees between the new JCC and the existing sanctuary of Judea Reform. At the completion of construction, there will be extensive landscaping, consisting primarily of native species whose irrigation, when necessary, will be from recycled rainwater.
So, watch and share the excitement as the JCC grows into a major community facility. The photos ,which will be added shortly, will give you a sense of the progress and, when you can look back over the weeks of photos, you may begin to see how impressive this process really is.
