Construction began this week with the general contractor, Casa Bella LLC, mobilizing to the site and installing a weatherproof shelter above the upper office roof. Initial work included removing the perimeter section of the roof and installing epoxy-threaded rods into the existing concrete masonry walls. Next week, crews will install reinforcement beams in the roof structure. Re-roofing should begin in about 2 weeks. The work area will remain accessible to employees as needed.
