Grand Island Christian School is currently engaging in an interior and exterior remodel project
to enhance their existing facilities and property. The interior project features new HVAC
system, new lighting, electrical system, and complete interior finishes. The exterior features
new landscaping, sidewalks, roof system, aluminum storefront entry systems, new windows
with contemporary sun shading and kalwall panels at the top of existing window openings.
The School will also consider demolition of the oldest wing of the building which will be
developed into green space. See Site Plan, Floor Plan, and Exterior Elevation.

We have the ability to fund the interior portion of our remodeling plans which we
estimate will amount to $180,900. Adding in the exterior improvements, the total comes
$260,900 for a gap of $80,000 which needs to be filled through other means. Since the
Five Points area has a blighted status, and it is in the city’s best interest to encourage
development in this area, we are requesting support from the city to support the exterior
plans of our project with CRA funds.

Dear CRA Members Barry Sandstrom, Sue Pirnie, Glen Murray,
Lee Elliott and Tom Gdowski:
Our current location at the corner of State Street and Broadwell
Avenue is a very noticeable location. It has a lot of history and we
often have people who want to see inside the old school and are
glad it’s still around. However, it has had some serious
maintenance challenges that sent our board looking for a possible
alternate location.
After a search lasting several months, our board came to the
conclusion that our current Five Points location is the best
location for us, after all, and the best use of our time and financial
resources.
Knowing your interest in this blighted area, we wanted to explore
how we could help each other in improving Five Points. We own
one of the largest single properties in this area, and feel any
improvements we make will reflect on the whole area positively.
We are working with Master Builder Associates of Doniphan to
implement a plan to improve and make our property more usable.
It has been determined that the newer part of the building on the
west is in better condition than the older portion on the east. The
older part of GICS was constructed prior to 1919 and is in need of
major renovation, while the newer part, constructed in the 50’s, is
made of steel and concrete and will last for many years with
upgraded HVAC and new windows. Since the space in the older
section is not needed by us, and is virtually unusable for more
than just storage without costly upgrades, we believe demolition is
the best option for it.
In its place will be a beautiful green space and playground area
highly visible from Broadwell. The whole community will
appreciate and benefit from this plus we will benefit from lower
utility and maintenance costs. When funds allow in the future, our
master plan calls for a new gymnasium on the east side of the

building. To see more clearly what our plans our please refer to
the enclosed site plan.
We have received estimates from $80,000 to $100,000 to
demolish the eastern half, including asbestos removal, and are
able to spend up to $50,000 of our own money on this phase, but
we must rely on help from other sources to see the project
competed. This is why we are asking for your assistance.
Demolition, construction, and visible improvements to this area
will be noticed by the whole community and help change the
status of the area from “blighted” to something much nicer to
behold. It may stir up interest in commercial properties that have
long been for sale in the area and bring back more vibrant
commerce while preserving the newer half of the building and its
educational function.
We have much work ahead of us and we hope that you will be able
to provide the financial assistance necessary to realize our shared
goal. Thank you for your consideration of our request and please
don’t hesitate to call with your questions.
Sincerely,
