Concrete footings for building

The site for the new Transportation and Support Services facility on Jacobson Street (behind Liberty High School) has been excavated and graded. A large hill of gravel sits on the site waiting to be used -- these loads were transported in advance of the upcoming two-month closure of Cornelius Pass Road.
