construction Project updates
New! Vedic Temple Project Blog
ISKCON Naperville is expanding! We have begun fundraising with the goal of establishing a larger kitchen, a new community hall for the congregation, and ultimately a brand new Vedic Krsna Temple to facilitate the worship of our growing community. To keep you well informed about our progress toward this goal we will be sending you periodic updates letting you know about new developments and milestones that we have reached.
So far we have collected $110,000 toward our goal, thanks to your continued support and backing of this project.
In an effort to progress closer to our goal we have begun planning rezoning of our temple property from RIA (Low density single family residence district) to OCI (Office, commercial and institutional district). Along with the application, the city requires submission of a number of documents and we are currently in the process of preparing those documents. After the complete review of the application with all the documents, the City council will hold a public hearing. Upon all clearances the property will be rezoned and we will then be allowed to start construction.
LATEST PROJECT STATUS
PHASE-1 | COMPLETED
The planned work to construct the new and expanded parking lot, parking lot lighting, and all the underground utilities (city water, sewer, gas, etc.), has been completed on time and on budget.
PHASE-2 | IN PROGRESS
We are pleased to inform you that the construction for Phase 2 of the new temple will commence on April 21, 2021! We have received all the required city approvals. Please feel free to visit our website for the latest updates.
It goes without saying that all this tremendous work requires the continued support of the community. A temple of this magnitude and purpose will undoubtedly become your legacy for many generations to come. Your gracious financial support is solicited and sincerely appreciated.
