First, some housekeeping. The July Business Update is scheduled for Wednesday July 26th at noon. It will be held inside of the community center, 161 North Dickason Blvd. If you are a business owner, this is a great opportunity to work with state DOT and the contractors. Your attendance also helps us at the city keep lines of communication open.
You may have noticed that the section of road that used to be a giant pit (West James St. from Ludington St. to Lewis St.) is now beginning to resemble a road. Over the last few days crews have been bringing in gravel to level the road for eventual pavement.
Speaking of pavement, the original idea was that this section would not be be paved until October. This is no longer the case. The contractors are now hopeful that this stretch of road could be paved in August.
Business Liaison Intern, JT Cestkowski, is back from his vacation and feeling refreshed. Frankly it is annoying. We want to bury him in work. So please e-mail him any and all questions, problems or concerns you have about the James Street Reconstruction Project.
