It is our pleasure to announce the Solar Project is moving along as scheduled.  We anticipate the transition of the barrier fencing to move from the north parking lot to the central and south parking lot on 2/18/17.   Please note there will be very minimal parking available in this area.  During this phase the fencing will remain in this location until March 24, as they will also move forward with the instillation of the solar framing.  We would like to thank you for your patience thus far and as we continue with this exciting project.
