The sidewalk on the east side of First Avenue, between Cedar and State has been closed. The street signs and several trees have been removed in order to facilitate this site work.

Interior demolition has been progressing rapidly with substantial progress in the basement, first and second floors. The City of St. Charles Fire Department and Public Works Department has meet with the Downtown Partnership to consult on a signage plan for future road closures.
