  • What are the work hours and days?

    The town has conditioned us to work within the boundaries of Monday through Friday: 7AM-7PM, Saturday: 8AM-7PM, and Sunday and any federally designated holidays: 9AM-6PM. In general, we anticipate a more regular work schedule than what is allowed, likely 7AM-5PM Monday through Friday, and occasional Saturdays as necessary. There may be times when we maximize the allowable work hours, but we do not anticipate that will be the norm.

  • Can we view the construction progress?

    Construction fencing and environmental controls have been installed for the safety of all, and the environment. While the contractor parking and stored materials will be in the lower parking lots, there will be a lot of activity and big equipment at the job site. No one will be allowed within the construction or staging areas. Safety is our highest priority.
