Project Phases:

Our project work moves through a process that's divided into four phases: Defining, Planning, Execution and Completion. For detailed definitions of each project phase, go here

EXECUTION PHASE

Community Recreation Center – Restoration Project

Work at the Community Recreation Center continues to move forward as the project nears its final phase. The new Registration Desk is nearing completion and will soon be ready to welcome guests in an updated, more functional space.

Looking ahead, installation of first-floor carpeting—the final phase of the project—is scheduled to begin the week of March 30. This work will bring a refreshed, cohesive look to the facility and mark an important milestone as the restoration project approaches completion.
