We went into this study with an aggressive timetable. This will give Portage County time to step back and look at the material at no additional cost to the project.

Information will be shared and hopefully, cases will be solved quicker.

It is time to start putting some of these ideas down on paper. Hiring a design firm to come up with some plans will give us a better idea of the square footage needs and it will allow us to see where we can cut down on some of our costs.

We've never done a study, but we think the number of people coming downtown will impact the downtown economy. We hope they will see a restaurant or retail shop they like and come back.

Anyone who seeks a prayer life guided by Scripture will not take this study seriously. Prayer is based upon a relationship, namely a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and prayer is itself a part of that relationship. And relationships cannot properly be evaluated by scientific methods.

We need to look at whether to continue on with the project and where to possibly locate the facility. Those are things we need to look at.
