A total of about $50,000 in in-kind work and monetary donations were pledged. The money will be contributed over the next two years.
The money and services will be used to re-roof the building. Timberman roofing will do the repairs for free – an in-kind contribution of $23,500. The rest of the money will be used to maintain the building or fund additional improvements.
A collection that was solicited through February’s water bill generated $1,602.66 in donations from citizens of Valparaiso.
The roofing repairs will start “soon.” Mayor Brent Smith reported to the commissioners and the citizens at the meeting that the shingles were ordered and the project would be completed in the next couple of weeks.
We love to bring you, and all of your neighbors, the news for free – it’s a part of who we are. But just because something is free doesn’t mean it’s cheap.
Your sustaining donation of just $10 per month helps us keep the powerful accountable and make the mortgage on time. If you notice you keep coming back for more stories from us – please consider supporting our work so we can do it for the long haul (and not be homeless).
