What's Next at DPC?

After a successful capital campaign this spring, the Renovation & Construction committee is hard at work obtaining necessary approvals, permissions and estimates in order to proceed with DPC's Master Facility Plan.  The committee is currently in the process of looking over the credentials and histories of contractors, moving toward a decision that will bring us one step closer to breaking ground.
