This past week had a few unfortunate circumstances that caused some significant issues for businesses throughout the project area. On Friday, July 15^th, power was lost for an extended period of time for all businesses along the west side of Tower Drive. The exact cause for the power outage is still being determined. The major priority at this point is to get power restored as quickly as possible. We understand the major affect this had on all the businesses in the area and will continue to work to determine the cause for the outage.

 Also, sections of newly poured concrete sidewalk along Tower Drive and Valor Drive were damaged due to some unfortunate circumstances. Several sections of concrete were vandalized prior to the concrete setting and similarly several sections were exposed to unexpected weather conditions. These areas of sidewalk will need to be removed and replaced. The contractor anticipates to complete this work next week. The businesses affected by this additional work will be notified prior to the work beginning.

Friendly Reminder:

·         All businesses are open during construction!

·         Surface parking spots are limited. Parking in garages is strongly encouraged.
