PARKING LOT EXPANSION AND BALAALAYA RENOVATION: WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TODAY

Parking, especially on the weekends, has been identified as a significant problem. We have had many complaints from our neighbors and devotees. Now with county approval to add another 180 spaces on temple property we should be able to handle all but special event parking needs for the foreseeable future. The Trustees have decided to proceed with a contract to do this as bids have come in lower than originally estimated and since we have met the baseline requirement that we would only begin work after we had $500,000 in the bank.

Capital Fund Projects planned to be underway in 2010 are:

  • $900,000 for Parking Lot Expansion, 180 spaces with asphalt and the bridge
  • $400K for Balaalaya Restoration, Meditation Hall, original Balaalaya 
    preserved and 3 apartments- two for bachelor priests and one for a priest and spouse or for guests

The total cost of the Parking Lot Expansion cum Balaalaya Restoration projects is $1.3 million (estimate was $1.8 million) therefore we still need to raise an additional $800,000. 

  We need donations of all sizes in order to undertake and complete these capital projects. Please click here and donate now! 

BOOMI PUJA POSTPONED TO FEB.28, 2010

All devotees are cordially invited to the Bhoomi Puja for the Parking Lot Expansion project. The county approvals are in and the contractor will be ready to begin work soon. Hopefully, our parking headaches will be over in 2010!

Bhoomi puja is scheduled for Sunday, February 28 th 10:30 AM

(snow date is Sunday, February 28th, also at 3 p.m.).

Please dress warm and come with your family to help us begin the construction by carrying a brick to the site.
