Project description: The five-year-old LifePoint church is moving to this 233-seat sanctuary from its 140 N. 20th St. building in Ozark. The structure going up at the southwest corner of U.S. Highway 65 and State Highway F, across from Walmart Supercenter, is a metal building with metal wall panels and a synthetic stucco and masonry block exterior, said Larry Snyder & Co. Project Manager Donnie Volentine. Stained-concrete floors are inside, where spaces are divided into classrooms, offices and a kitchen, he said. The church is selling its current building, according to www.lifepointozark.com.Springfield Business Journal brings you new projects each week.
