She stated that they have made progress towards their end goals and have potential opportunities that will support the vision for the site. Ms. Morawetz outlined the proposed concept for the site. She stated that the Camp 30 site would be the ideal setting for Durham Hospice. Ms. Morawetz explained that the hospice project is vitally needed in this community and could benefit greatly as the first project on 2020 Lambs Road site. She noted that the Jury House is removed from the other buildings but is still accessible along the ring road. Ms. Morawetz stated that the structure has been evaluated for significant architecture and has been assessed as worthy for repurposed use. She explained that the Jury House provides a peaceful and natural environment for the people using the hospice. Ms. Morawetz stated that they are hopeful that the Jury House is chosen as the location for Durham Hospice. She explained that, although interim services would be necessary to meet the require timeline for this project, there are permanent services within reach that would be beneficial as the hospice grows in size. Ms. Morawetz stated that a new build would be less expensive but that a full assessment of the actual costs of using the Jury House has not been presented. She mentioned that there are several granting opportunities available and the Jury Lands Foundation would work with Durham Hospice to acquire possible funding to support the project. Ms. Morawetz stated that the Jury House is not large enough to support the five beds, and that most of the structure would have to be new and therefore comparable in cost to the other potential location. She expressed concern that taking on the repurposing of the historical building is not the most significant reason that other site under consideration has an advantage. Ms. Morawetz stated that the Jury Lands Foundation supports the Durham Hospice project. She requested that the Committee provide the Jury Lands Foundation with the opportunity to submit more information prior to making a decision.
