October 21, 2024 Update
Quarter 4 Update
The building and new sport courts are taking shape. Masonry walls were completed in September and structural roof members are being installed. Stonework veneer will be starting in the coming week. The roof structure over a portion of the building is framed out, with the larger glulam beams expected for delivery and install this week for the area over the shelter portion of the building. The parking lot will also be taking shape soon with the curbing being poured, followed by the asphalt and striping.
