The AG shop is mostly cleaned out and the equipment has been moved to the storage shed. Devon and a few of his students have done a great job packing up the building, and Vern and his crew have got everything moved.
We have gotten permits approved for most of our plans for the AG shop and the admin area. A couple of adjustments had to be made to the admin area as the breeze way walls needed upgrades to meet fire codes for the state. The asbestos is nonfriable and we do not have to do a full abatement. We are working with Neenan to determine the best path forward, but a short abatement/demolition period will help our scheduled start date. |
