A Request for Assistance in Obtaining Promrty1 in the ovnvine Area

j Rationale:

ne Charlotte Conmgauons of Jehovah's Witnesses are growingl very rapidly. Since 1988, six new congregations form ed, tw o of these

in the inner city area. n e Greenville Congregation, and an adjacent

group, the Brxkshire Congmgation, both now share Kingdom HallsI (meeting facilities) ouuide of tlleir service territories (Item 1).n Is places a burden on the m em bers of each congregation, since m any

demnd on publlc transportation (ltem 2). ne Charlotte Area congregatlons,1 worklng togelec are committed to help lese two congregauons build aK lngdom H all w lthln one of thelr sem ce areu A ccom phshing thls allow s

j both to share a faclllty nearby and on readlly accesslble publlc transportation.A Kingdom Hall in the Greenvlllle area will help ellmlnate these constrainl.

I Background on Jehovah's witnesses and how a Kingdom Hall inG reenw lle w ill benes t the com m um ty'

1 Jehovah's witnesses share the message of tlle Kingdom hom form anz nd. but also acquaint interested m rsons w ith tile high m oral principles

set out in the Blble. Aiding interested mrsons to apply these high standards1 in tlwtr uves not only lwlps the individual, but % nefits the entire com m unity.

M any m rsons find that studying the Bible w ith Jehovah's W itnesses bring about

j a change for the better in their mrsonal and family life.

By teaching the Bible to interested yrsons in these areas, Jehovah'sI wltnesses help many to sbow promr resmct for tbeir msrriage. c luldren are

trained in right princlples w hich contributes to less delinquency, im m orahty

and cnme within the community. Family umty, and ultimately neighborhte1 subility are aclueved

j A b1g problem plagulng communities (and nations) is racial prejudlce.Among Iehovah's Wltnosses, one R nds m ople of 1 1 races, natm nahties

and colors workng and lwing in mace and umty.IW e sincerely belleve that bulldlng a K m gdom hall in the G reenville area

would contribute to the stabllization of the commumty. Additionally, this1 would attract some of the wztnesses who have moved out of tlle Greenville Areabecause of the inablllty to w orship nearby.

Potentlal Slte:IA tw o acre plot al the corner of Statesville R d., O liver St., nnd

j Spratt St. (ltem 3) has he-n identised through the assistance of NCNB CommunqDevelopm ent, C harlotte C om m unity D evelopm ent, nnd the G reenville H om eow ners

A ssœ iation. Item 4 show s the area surrounding Item 3. n e site is dix ctly

l across the street from the recently built Salvation Army facility, and providesease of access, size for parH ng, landscaping and exm sure for interested

&rSOnS.IC om m um ty A ccepl nce.

1 As pointed out above and documented ln the list of Families of the twocongregations (Item 2) thls slte is centrally located. H ow ever the acceptance

j by the commumty had to be ascertained. Each home ln the Greenville areawas provided w ith a written survey (Item 5). Approxim ately 125 bom es w ere

contacted and a 1 15 resNnses were obtaine. Overwhelmingly 1 12 were for1 t:e clwrch, 3 w ere against. Item 6 is a letter from the G reenville H om eow ners'

A ssoclation supporting thls request

IProjection of m rformance:

I Withln a year of closing on the land, it is exm cted that a K m gdom H all

w ill be in use. n is dœ s not m ean that it w ill reqm re a year to build, but

j rather ONLY 10 working days. It is exmcted to take a year to arrange forsnancing by the two congregatjons, gain approval for the plans (BuildingStandards has glven tentative OK to the slte plan), obtain the necessary mrmit.s andI schedule the construcuon wi+ u,e Buildlng committoe

.

Jehovah's Wltnesses utlhzz dlis metlle of fabriceating Kingdom Halls1 to save ume, m onry and to assure quality construcuon w il out delay . N eiuw r

the Greenville nor the Brœ b hire congregations are capable of this project

j alone or together. ne construction is coordinated through the North CarolinaRegional Kingdom Hall Committee, N o. 2. n is C om rnile- consisl of professional

builders, electricians, plum bers, H V A C englneers, etc., w ho volunteer their tim e.

1 Tlus comm,ttee hms buut 49 ongdom Hans in the pmst Iive years, 10 in 1991(counbng 3 in the Charlotte area, ltem 7) as well as a Kingdom H all planned for M int

Hlll to be built January 7-1 l , 1992.I

I

I

I

1 By working closely with governmental ins- uon units, the construcuon lscom pleted in rapid fashion. A 1l crew chlefs are licensed in their Geld and

j build to cYe requiremenl. Items 8 and 9 remrt on the most recent Kingdom Hallsconstructed in the Charlotte area. Item 10 is an account of the construction

of the Dunwoey Kingdom Hall in suburban Atlanta.I

We feel that thls Kingdom Hall w1l1 lx an asset to the Greenville Community.l Much time and effort during tl. past three years has lxen devoted to working withN C N B C om m unity D evelopm ent, C harlotte C om m unity D evelopm ent, and the G reenville

Homeowners' Assoclatlon to identlfy thls slte. We hom, through this request,1 to recmve your support towaru tlw eventual purchase of the pro-rty.
