ANTICI?ATED RES~LTS Mary's would get badly needed group meeting and work space. Staff wO'.lld get CIIlces: The former suite" in the mans ion basement could be turned to wholesome recrea:.ion or cottage industry enterprises. Two adjacent rooms could be used for one-on-one personal counselling or St. vccatio~al "exe:u t 1 ve cc:Tt~"..l!1ication. The historic character of the exterior would be retained other than the repair or replacerr.ent of certain elements. The carriage house would retain the exposed interior roof structure -- a dynam:c assembly of beams, struts and bars that could be attractively illuminated. The roof surface would be insulated and topped by asphalt shi~;les so the histo:-ic look is retained. TOTAL AHOUN7 NECESSARY FOR ENTIRE PROJECT Assist Inc. reckons the low end cost to execute its plan a~ S18 3, 750 at low end, and -- after a 18 percent contlH<iien::y i; f." $33,950 -- at $217,700 at high end. St. Mary's seeks $30,000 in community developme~t block grant funds to begin the re-development a~d to attract complementary finance. Tentatively, its first efforts would go tOviard stabilization of the northwest corner of the carriage house. St. Mary's has no resources for the project other than ex~ressions of interest by various individuals and groups. The Utah Heritage Society's Michael Leventhal indicated that short-term five year low interest finance would be available for exterior repairs and renovation. St. Mary's also has asked the Utah AFL-CIO if it could marshal retired craftsmen to contribute volunteer time. Certain persons and institutions who have made large contributions to other Salt Lake projects, or St. Mary's itself, have bee~ made aware of the carriage house as opportunity for a meaningful gift. One financial institution which has made a major co~tribution to th9 mansion facilities upgrading -- has discussed possibility of funding either through long-term, low-interest loan, or u~c.er require~ents of the Corn~unity Reinvestment Act, or through special prograo 0: its central banking authority. Nothing has been cc~:i~~ed at this time. |
