Rationale for a New Facility
- Facilities have a tremendous effect on the emotional stability of the child.
- Facilities affect the moral of the staff and the ability of the staff to do a good job.
- Facilities have a tremendous influence on public perception.
- Facilities affect our ability to raise funds to be able to help more kids.
- Our current facilities are too small and require a great deal of money to maintain and operate.
- The design of our house is not conducive to good mental health or supervision.
- Finally, we cannot expand on our current property because we have maximized our potential in terms of waste water treatment. It would cost us over $100,000.00 to stay where we are.
- Eagle Rock will construct facilities on the 31.8 acres of land near Pump Station Road (Brooke Ave) through a proposal approved on February 1, 2007 by the City of Gadsden, Industrial Development Board.
- Eagle Rock has raised $100,000 in community donations to date.
- Eagle Rock has raised $140,000 in contributions of $50,000 each from the Daniel Foundation and the Alabama Power Foundation and $40,000 from the Hill Crest Foundation.
- An Auction was held on May 20, 2006, which raised $30,000 toward the relocation of the Program to bring the total amount Eagle Rock has at present to $270,000.00.
PHASE I
Phase I will also include construction of the house. A portion of the facility will be designated as office space. During this time the ranch will continue to operate at its Burgess Road location. The total projected cost is $400,000.00.
PHASE II
Phase II will include the development of Vocational Enterprises to provide work for the boys and generate revenue for the home. This will consist of a Greenhouse and Thrift Store at a cost of $290,000.
PHASE III
Phase III will include the construction of an additional house, office and recreational facility at a cost of approximately $600,000.
Upon Relocating to the new Facilities, Eagle Rock will sell the Burgess Road property and construct a third house on the new site. This will be paid for with the revenue from the sale of the Burgess Road property.
