I’m sure most of you have noticed work on the Dow School Park has started. Most of the demolition is complete and several items have been released for fabrication. Underground utility drainage work has begun, and grading work will begin soon. Material and color selections were reviewed, and additional samples have been requested.

Working on a site with lots of history provides an opportunity for discovery—so far, the construction team has found an underground brick structure with a manhole. This is abandoned and filled with dirt and will be added to the as-built drawings so work installed in the future will be conducted with an awareness of the item.

We’ll be keeping you up to date at least once a month, and letting you know if we find any interesting artifacts.
