Talbot Hall Properties Committee

The Talbot Hall Properties Committee is charged with conducting a comprehensive study of the Talbot Hall property. This study includes, but not limited to, usage, location, maintenance needed to improve the property to meet today’s standards and to provide for future strategic goals of the diocese.  Intertwined must be the recognition of the long term financial stress of both the diocese and its parishes in having the diocese continue to own and maintain these properties. Members of the committee include clergy and laity from each of our convocations with expertise in construction, real-estate, law and financial management.  The committee’s review includes the original bequeath by the Talbot family, roofing and other major maintenance needs of the Manor House and office buildings, the annual operating costs of owning these properties, neighborhood concerns relating to the property and its use, and the effect on diocesan and parish finances if the property was sold versus continued ownership.
