Development Continues

If you have an opportunity to take a drive around our community you will see many crews busy at work at various job sites!

Construction at Day Estates is continuing to move along rapidly. Work continues to complete the two four-plex units and have them enclosed in order for interior work to continue before the snow flies!

Construction also continues on Broadway for the newest retail addition to downtown! I see the walls went up earlier this week...be sure to take a peek!

Foundation work on the new medical/dental clinic and suite additions at Borderline Housing is also underway.

The Industrial/Commercial Sub Division is also seeing some action with the construction of a new building/shop!

Stay tuned for more pictures as these projects move forward!
