Building a Dream - Summary of the Construction at KPL

The new center will be located within the walking distance from the rented house we have been using for the past six years, at the new address, 4330 Route 9G, Red Hook, NY. The thermometer on the left illustrates how far we have come.

The projected cost of completing the first floor of the building, where the main shrine room will be located, is $1 million. The town of Red Hook, which has been extremely generous and helpful to us, has agreed to issue a certificate of occupancy once the first floor has been finished, thereby allowing us to begin operating the center in the new building while the construction work in the remainder of the building continues. The projected cost of completing the entire building is $2 million. The currently lower labor and material cost can help us finish the building without further increase of the cost.

Donations are needed now in order to generate sufficient funds for undertaking progressive steps of the construction, such as installation of the sprinkler system, installation of the radiant heating system on the first and second floor, installation of the alarm system, etc. If you are able to make a donation or know others who might be in a position to do so, please help us. The times are difficult with the global economy in a depression. However it is through generosity that we secure our welfare for the future, and here is an opportunity to make a long-term “investment.” Please consider becoming a part of it.
