The site and the store are ready to receive the public. A ribbon cutting will take place tonight at 5, and the official grand opening will be Sunday, October 9. We’ll post pictures soon.

We are pleased to present completed earthwork. This shot is taken from the new roadway looking down on the retail anchor building. In view is a portion of the stream work and the recently grassed slope towards the back of the building.

This view shows  a different angle of stream work and planting with the new roadway, bridge and retaining walls in the foreground.

Notice the wet road in this image? It’s from the sprinkler system that’s now operational. This will help the newly planted sod take root.

As the site nears completion, we are cleaning up any signs of a construction site. This stockpile on Outparcel A is being hauled offsite.

We are installing fabric and the pipe under drain system for the Bio retention pond.

Concrete footers are being poured for storm pipe boxes on the Cox Road widening.

Most of the landscaping is complete and the final lift of asphalt is being laid this week.

Our team is installing Enkamat, a permanent reinforcement matting along the slopes adjacent to the stream channel. In this part of the Green Amor System, the matting is anchored at the top and bottom of the slope with an anchor trench and staples.

We are installing curb and gutter on Spine Road. The roadway is being fine graded in preparation for the aggregate base.

Along Jett Lanier Drive, our team is working to complete retaining walls.

We are progressing with stream relocation.  The channel has been completed in this section, and pools are being excavated in the flood plain area.

Outside the retail store, trees we have planted trees. Grates will be installed around the base to enhance the look and to keep them from getting damaged.

The  stock room area is almost complete, and we have also made great progress with fixturing.
