Building Update!
|
Here is an update on the building as we head into March. The bricks have begun to be placed on the northeast corner. You will see in the coming weeks that the exterior gets the three-tone colors that will cover each side of the building. This is sure to build anticipation as you drive by the corner of Hancock and Caramillo.
The inside is now all framed and in the process of getting electrical and insulation run before the drywall is added by the end of March. As I walk through each week, I see so many workers putting care into the work they are doing. This is going to be a special place and improvements in so many areas. I can't wait to share it all with you. More to come.
