Building Update – May 14, 2023

We trust all is well with you and your families. We are very excited to share the news of achieving a new stage in the dream of acquiring YDLV’s new home! Boruch Hashem, to date, Dr. Baktari and his team have successfully found the property, negotiated the sale of the three parcel assemblage, received the special use permit, and designed the plans which are now fully permitted. We are happy to announce that the Omni Group Development team is currently prepping for the demolition and remodel phase of the project! They have lined up early procurement of long-lead items and plan the initial demolition to begin on the unoccupied space on August 1, 2023. Verizon has confirmed they plan to complete their decommission and departure by the end of August. The Omni Group weekly meetings continue to ensure that all players are on task and keeping to the timeline. We again express our deepest gratitude to Dr. Jonathan Baktari, his Vice President, Mrs. Ashlee Arnold, and his dedicated team at Omni Group Development, whose skill and expertise has manifested in executing each stage,  despite numerous challenges and hurdles!

The upcoming Savor ’23 event will serve as a celebration of these tremendous accomplishments and as a springboard to energize the continued fundraising effort of the Capital Campaign. Thank you to all YDLV parents and donors for your support during this time. Please stay tuned for more exciting updates, bezras Hashem!

All the best,
