Way is Paved for Approvals/Permits to Remodel
OTA Sept 2011 Grand Opening Firmly in Sight

The City of San Diego Planning Department has informed Old Town Academy that the CUP (Conditional Use Permit) process is complete, and that as soon as the building owner submits its paperwork (which should be within the next few days), Old Town Academy can now apply for building permits to begin construction of its tenant improvements.

“This is great news for our families and students,” announced Board Chair Christopher Celentino.  “This is the reward for those who jumped on the bandwagon and believed that our team would defy the odds and move the project forward toward opening in September 2011.”

“The Board has asked the Site Selection Committee to move with all deliberate speed to finalize the lease and site plans, to retain a design/build team for the tenant improvements, and to pull the permits as soon as reasonably practical,” said Anna Sick, Board Member.  “Since most of the work will be cosmetic, we expect the beginnings of our improvements and building facelift to begin in weeks”
