Interior Work & Garage Construction Continue

Interior work on both 1 Dog Lane and 9 Dog Lane continues.  A tight roof and temporary heat allow for work to progress uninterrupted on the residential spaces and on the first-floor commercial spaces.  In the meantime, exterior work continues, including completing the window installation as well as ongoing brick work and trim work.

Work on the parking garage is also progressing, with the foundations now clearly visible.  Recently, a new construction entry to the site was created off Route 195 in anticipation of the delivery of additional materials for the garage.
