Summary

Town manager reported the second phase of the Veterans Honor Green is complete pending final county inspection; special‑events raised funds covered a $2,000 contingency overrun.

Town staff told the Oak Ridge Town Council on Sept. 4 that construction of the second phase of Veterans Honor Green is complete and the boardwalk will open to the public after a pending county final inspection.

The manager praised Parker Construction and landscape architect Remington Reeves for the work. Staff reported the project exceeded its contingency by less than $2,000; those costs will be paid from funds raised by the special events committee, not the town’s general fund.

Council directed staff to remove caution tape and open the boardwalk once the county completes final inspection. The manager also noted a minor repair at the farmhouse well — only the control box had required replacement and it is functioning.
