Parking Lot Task Force

 

 

House of Hope leadership has voted to sell the Summit Avenue parking lot, located on the corner of Summit Avenue and Grotto Street. Over the past five years, three task forces were authorized by Session to review the property and its uses. Each task force was made up of a diverse set of congregational voices and various members from our Session, Trustees, Deacons, and Staff. Through thoughtful conversation and study, these task forces discerned that House of Hope has enough parking spaces in the Portland Ave. and Holly Ave. parking lots to meet our current and future needs. The Summit parking lot in its current state requires a large investment to be repaired and maintained. After much discussion, the decision has been made to sell this property.
