Project schedule

Construction is expected to begin, weather permitting, in September and last approximately 8-10 weeks. (Please note: The completion date may be affected by weather, or by production and service delays in the construction industry).

We appreciate your cooperation and patience during construction to ensure a safe environment for all. The parking lot, basketball court, ball diamond and green spaces will remain open during construction.
