What has been realized—and is now fully in hand—is the result of extraordinary leadership, vision, and dedication. This milestone was made possible through the tireless efforts of Chabad’s Executive Committee for Campus Expansion, whose persistence, diligence, careful stewardship, and generous financial support transformed a long-held vision into an approved, build-ready reality.

Reaching this point was neither quick nor simple. The road to an official campaign launch required navigating a complex, labor-intensive approval process that unfolded over more than eighteen months. Each phase demanded precision, patience, and close coordination with municipal authorities, consultants, and design professionals.

The process included land rezoning applications, the creation of a final site plan, comprehensive architectural design, and the preparation and submission of plans across all required engineering and specialty disciplines. Along the way, the project underwent multiple rounds of reviews, revisions, and formal hearings, each one essential to meeting regulatory requirements and ensuring long-term viability.

This effort required a substantial investment—hundreds of thousands of dollars in professional fees, studies, and regulatory compliance—long before a single shovel could touch the ground. These behind-the-scenes efforts were critical to ensuring that the project would move forward responsibly, sustainably, and with the highest standards.

Today, we are deeply grateful to share that these major efforts have reached their first and most important milestone. All rezoning and site plan approvals have been fully obtained. The complete architectural building blueprints are finalized and approved, and the project is currently out for general contractor bidding. At the same time, construction permit applications have been submitted, marking the final step before ground-breaking.

This moment represents more than progress—it reflects vision realized through commitment, patience, and leadership.
