Brunswick gets first glimpse at $4.75M church project
Members of the Brunswick Planning Board got their first look at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church’s proposed 14,700-square-foot event center and school building that have been in development for approximately a decade.
Preliminary plans for the $4.75 million, two-phase project, call for the construction of an event center on the west side of All Saint Parish’s 4.5-acre property, at 39 Pleasant St. downtown. In addition to housing a chapel, the center would have a gymnasium, stage, music room, kitchen, meeting room and locker rooms, according to The Forecaster.
The project’s second phase would see the razing of a St. John’s school and a convent, both to be replaced by a two-story, 13,200-square-foot school. The second phase of development would also include a reconfiguration of parking, expanding capacity from 150 vehicles to 174.
So far, the parish has raised $940,000 of the $4.75 million needed, according to The Forecaster.
Site agent Kevin Clark told The Forecaster it’s likely that parish officials will return to the planning board with a sketch plan for the project’s first phase, and a common development plan for the site in June.
