Measurable Outcome(s)

The targets were achieved. The results were excellent because our project is managed by a historic architect firm and every detail in moving forward was addressed in the pre-construction conference with the contractor, architect and TSHS project manager. The planning and communication about the project phases is ongoing as TSHS continues to seek other funds and conduct successful fundraisers.
