Measurable Outcome(s)

The short term indicator was definitely achieved, and the intermediate indicator is also underway. We achieved those results by working with professional contractors who were experienced in their field and could provide expert reporting. Our volunteer Dan Kislinger was the main contact for the contractors and brings his own professional knowledge as a retired architect to the project. We feel confident that the long term impacts of a safely maintained historic property will be achieved in the future.
