We are pleased to announce that the Board of Directors of Redding Tai Chi Meditation Garden has approved the final construction agreement and warranty with Ledford Construction & Concrete Inc. for construction of our Tai Chi Meditation Court at Enterprise Park in Redding.

The agreement, totaling $101,875, was approved by the Board, along with the purchase of eight benches from Outdoor Creations for $3,440. Including additional site improvements and materials, such as decomposed granite, the total estimated project cost is approximately $107,000.

The day following the Board’s approval, President Iraja Siva-Das signed the construction agreement. Michel Czehatowski then delivered the signed contract and initial deposit to contractor David Ledford.

We are now waiting for the weather to cooperate before construction can begin. Rain is forecast over the next 7–10 days, and the ground needs time to dry before grading and site preparation can take place. Once conditions improve, we will coordinate a start date with the contractor.

This is an important milestone for the Redding Tai Chi Meditation Garden. After years of planning, fundraising, and working toward securing a suitable location, we are finally moving into the construction phase.

We look forward to sharing further updates as work gets underway and the Tai Chi Meditation Court begins to take shape.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this project through donations, encouragement, and volunteer efforts. Your support has helped bring us to this point.
