Unfortunately I was unable to attend the meeting, so I’m unsure how many people showed or spoke up.
any news as to when the construction will begin. i tire of the looking at the big gravel pit.
The gravel pit is orders of magnitude better than what was there before.
The developer anticipates 9 to 10 months for construction documents and permitting and approximately 1 year for construction so we’re looking at a construction start late next year and completion the end of 2010. We’ll try to get the current drawings posted to the web asap and follow up with any updates on the Dairy Queen design as they progress. The good news is that the Dairy Queen will be able to stay open throughout construction under this new plan.
Did the current plans for the Trinity Triangle project ever get posted on the web somewhere?
