If this project moves ahead in the immediate term, that would be outstanding news.
In retrospect, I realize that I saw temporary barriers and caution tape closing off the parking lot between the existing building and the house that lost part of its siding last year. I assumed, in the instant I passed the site, that the house would be receiving more substantial repair work and the parking lot would be closed off to permit that. Now I'm wondering if that was a preliminary step prior to actual fencing or hoarding being installed, assuming the project is at the pre-sitework stage (e.g. emptying the existing building, securing the site).
