Demolition of the six buildings in the Phase I area is complete as of 1/19/22. Haul off of building debris by Atlas Demolition is 80% complete (closest to future park/retention area). Clearing, excavation and grassing of the future Wetland Park/stormwater retention area by Tracy Lanning Construction is complete. Building and foundation demolition was concluded in March 2022. Mass upper site grading is underway and will take place from March through May of 2022. The grading contractor has encountered rock at the vertical Phase I site and partial removal began the week of 3/28.
