Mr. Maurice Witmer of Portsmouth, N.H., is the architect and the Morrill Construction Co., Inc. of East Acton, is the general contractor.
The Grace Church Expansion and Development Committee comprised of: the Rev. Edwin W. Grilley, Jr., Ex Officio; Robert W. Fisher, senior warden; Ralph B. Hersey, junior warden and Mrs. Herbert.
