TCH provides update on post-storm rebuilding
The Community House on Sanibel provided an update on the progress of its hurricane recovery.
On May 16, officials reported that the rebuild has been divided into three phases. Currently, they are working on completing phase I so the doors can open again for meetings, classes and small gatherings.
Phase I includes the lobby, offices, bathrooms and Islander Room. The projects include plumbing, backflow preventer, drywall, painting, and cleaning and sealing the floors. One anticipated hurdle is getting electric. The plan also includes simultaneously getting the kitchen flooring and walls done.
They are in the early stages of phase II and installing drywall in the Community Room. Phase II includes the Community Room, Great Hall and kitchen. The projects will include flooring, drywall, painting and cabinets, along with audio-visual and lighting equipment.
Officials reported that phase III will include the Founders Room, leveling the building, adding a stem wall and concrete pad, putting the building on the pad, and reframing the building where necessary.
The Community House is at 2173 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel.
