Project Status
ABP has recently confirmed an $8M donation, bringing the total funding raided for the project to $8.8M. The project is expected to cost $15M to complete all desired elements and phases of work.
We are currently wrapping up the contract with the Construction Manager at Risk (Reeves Young) and working on edits to the 60% Design Development Package.
Developing pricing, a cost estimate and schedule for the first phase of work will be the focus of the design team over the next few months. Construction for the first phase or work may start in fall of this year.
