Parramore Church Partners With Events Center Construction
October 27, 2008
Orlando, Fla. – Just a few hundred feet from the site of the community’s new Events Center, a Parramore congregation will be benefiting from the multitude of construction workers clocking in each morning.
Due to its proximity to the construction site and by employing a little creativity, Shiloh Baptist Church on West Jackson St. has opened its parking facilities for workers to park during the work week. The Church has reached a partnership agreement with the subcontractors to receive a nominal competitive fee per two-axle vehicle.
“Our view is that the arena and all improvements are needed. It is truly representative of an expansive and progressive town,” said Pastor Alvin White, Jr., who noted that the additional income is a blessing. “I think that there is certainly a lot more than just brick and mortar going on, there is a sense of excitement for Orlando.”
