With roughly two weeks to go until handover of the visitor center to the park projects are being completed, final touches are being applied, and landscaping continues. A few minor changes have been approved and completed as we round out the project now set to complete almost exactly one year from its inception. Stay tuned for these final posts as we will look back at the project over these past 12 months.
It’s important to note that all crew members are employing all those health and safety measure that we are all practicing, including social distancing. Work crew members are being monitored regularly, and sanitation facilities are available for the crew. While the project is certainly important, the health and safety of employees and workers is much more important.
