This is an important and exciting milestone for the project. Unfortunately, this will require the Construction Manager to close the Boardwalk

It has been exciting to see the building become enclosed and take shape. We're looking forward to the completion of the boardwalk and landscape improvements. It is an unfortunate necessity to have to temporary close the boardwalk, but once this construction phase is completed the boardwalk will finally be completed.
The actual date of closure and any updates will be provided in the near future. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this important phase of construction.
