The Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 25 is located at 5505 S. Hansel Avenue on the shores of Lake Conway in south Orlando.  In late 2008, the old Lodge was scheduled for demolition in preparation for constructing a new steel frame structure to serve as the meeting hall for FOP Lodge 25.  The demolition and other pre-construction activities were complete in the Spring of 2009.  We have been ready to go into the full-blown construction phase for some time now; however, the economy has been in a tail spin and lenders are even more cautious on their lending - especially to non-profits and not-for-profit corporations.

Fortunately, I am happy to report the FOP Lodge 25 has made contact with two nationally recognized financial institutions and both are reviewing the financials of Lodge 25.  We are hopeful the competative nature of lending will provide the Lodge with the best terms on a loan.  I am optimistic on a favorable outcome in the coming weeks.  More to come on this in the near future.

In the meantime, please take a look at the proposed floor plan and artist rendering of the new FOP Lodge 25.  You may also make a specific donation towards the Building Fund.
