We are still on track for submission of plans for review to NCDOT, Land Quality and DWQ -- 1st week of September. EDA review and advertisement for bid, etc. would follow accordingly, once we have plan approvals. In the meantime we have addressed the issues with Challenge Printing and received a go ahead to pave the road in front of their new driveway access. The funds used to pave this section will come from the project fund. We will be able to build this section without adding any cost to the total for the project. Courthouse /Basement Project - The Contractor for the basement renovation is now 55 percent complete. All the walls for the project are up and completed and painting has begun. Electrical and Plumbing rough in work is complete. The hallway between the new area and the Sheriff's office is complete. Expected completion date is October 22 nd Buchanan Park Renovations — Work continues on this project. Parks and Recreation and General Services are very close to completing the renovations of the Park. Lowes has been able to put together a volunteer team of employees to help paint the dugouts. This should occur by the end of the month. A grand re- opening of this park damaged by the April 16, 2011 tornado will be in September or October once the weather cools a little. We will make sure that the celebration is very well advertised. Chiller for Government Center — The new Chiller for the Government Center was to be delivered on Tuesday August 14 General Services did a great job keeping the existing Chiller going during this hot summer. The new Chiller is coming at a great time. The switch over will take a couple of weeks. Other Items San- Lee Park has been overflowing most of the summer on weekends. The Park has been a big draw for our citizens and others in the region. The mountain bike trail has been attracting riders from all over the southeast. NC State will be hosting a mountain bike competition in September. All this activity has shown that the park lacks the parking space it needs for weekends and events. In next year's budget the Parks and Recreation Department will be presenting ways to expand parking.
