UPDATE
January 23, 2012
Building Construction postponed to after Mid-February
Without the necessary funding to begin construction, we must apply for a new Minor Use Permit which allows the Building Permit to continue. Consent from SLO County Board of Supervisors to waive fees is critical to this process. TCLA Board & architect Robert McCormick are diligently following county protocol.
