Located in the quiet commune of Vers, south of Viry, along a main road, D992, direction Frangy, in Haute-Savoie, France
Progress is being made. Brick walls to the next floor are now up. The cement floor of the next level will be poured during any break in the cold weather this winter. The roof will go on by spring. There's much to do in the interior of the building. If all goes well, we hope to move in October 2010.
When completed, there will be adequate space for radio programme production and live studios, offices, electronic and mechanical maintenance shops, storage and a 100 mē residence for the operations supervisor. The basement, main and upper floors each will have 300 mē, 900 mē total.
Construction will resume later this winter. Yet to be completed are the upper floor, roof, windows, doors, heating, plumbing, electrical, parking, etc.
This project is pay-as-we-go. No bank loan is possible. Time is short. You gifts and loans are urgently needed.
