Christian Daycare Center Ready To Proceed With A New Building Facility!

Chosen from only 3 applications that were submitted, a christian day care center has received approval from their local city council to start a new daycare facility! The daycare is ready, able and willing to build the facility and purchase the land all because they have grants and they are ready to go! With the help of grants and a loan, the daycare plans to spend $2.1 million to get the facility built and operating. That includes $305,000 paid to their local government to purchase the city-owned lot.

Another daycare facility applicant (that wasn't approved) wanted the city to carry the loan costs and lease the property too them and the city council felt that that wasn't a viable solution.

The city also has a grant program relating to 1-acre lots and another grant program for equipment purchases.

There was concern that there could be a church-state conflict caused by the city doing business with a Christian-centered operation. But the city's attorney said that there is not a problem because the daycare is open to all children, regardless of their family’s religious affiliation.
