A lot has been happening on the project over the last few weeks and things are starting to move quickly.  Concrete base has been installed on a large section of the new plaza and crews are working at installing curbs and more concrete base every day. 

The new retaining walls have been stained and are awaiting graffiti coating which is coming soon, and we also painted the existing fire hydrants! Keep a close eye on the plaza in the coming weeks as much of it will start to look like the final stages are getting close.
