Measurable Outcome(s)

The short term targets were achieved. SHPO reviewed the Conditions Assessment twice and recommended clarifications or corrections. The Conditions Assessment was edited, per SHPO's instructions. The Vestry approved the Conditions Assessment and voted to implement work detailed in the first two recommendations of the Conditions Assessment.

The church is in the process of achieving part of the intermediate goal. We are stabilizing the east chancel wall and the sacristy foundation and replacing the sacristy exterior walls, following YHR's recommendations.

We achieved the short term goal and are in the process of achieving part of the intermediate goal because we received a grant to hire an architect; the Vestry approved YHR's recommendations; and the church has the funds to pay for the repair/stabilization work.

The church is engaged in fundraising to pay for the rebuilding of the chancel wall. At this time, the church does not know how successful that effort will be. The church does not know how it will be able to afford all the repairs recommended in the Conditions Assessment. The church's ability to achieve the long-term goal is in question.
