Our New Home

 

Thanks to one very generous donor, we now have a contract to purchase the property on W. 44th Ave in Wheat Ridge! Although there is much more work ahead, the purchase of this property is a giant step forward and we’re taking this leap with much excitement and gratitude. The projected closing date on the property is at the end of May.

And thanks to many other donors and supporters, we have been able to start the special use permit (SUP) and the site development process with the city of Wheat Ridge. We have completed the first and second steps of the SUP process - the pre-application meeting and the neighborhood meeting. Both have gone well. The next big steps are finalizing a site plan; conducting a detailed survey, drainage study, and soil/percolation tests; and then submitting the actual SUP application.

As you might imagine, all this takes time, effort, and money. We are moving forward with all these tasks as quickly as we can. We are exploring every funding possibility/option (loans, grants, other large donors) to make this dream of a new, permanent location come true, but we still need the help of all our supporters. Based on our updated estimates, we will need an additional $150,000 for site development work required by the city (e.g. paved parking lot, sidewalks, drainage structures) as well as the repair of the barn roof and siding, and water and electrical hook-ups to the barn and flight cages. Please remember this is funding needed for the capital fund, which is above and beyond the funding for the day-to-day operations. If you'd like to make a contribution to the capital fund and help us build our dream, donations can be sent to Wild B.I.R.D. PO Box 101133, Denver CO 80250 or online at wildbirdrehab.com or via www. GivingFirst.org.

We do not have a definite relocation date at this time. It will depend on how quickly we can obtain the special use permit, get the building installed, and get the site development work completed. Until then, we will continue to operate at our current location.
