Denison schedules Meet Me on Main; D3 phase‑two construction targets mid‑August substantial completion and October ribbon cutting
Summary
Officials reported D3 phase‑two substantial completion around Aug. 16 (rain days possible) and discussed staging the Meet Me on Main celebration in late September or October to allow finishing touches and avoid conflict with other downtown festivals.
Denison Main Street discussed scheduling for the 'Meet Me on Main' retail event tied to completion of D3 phase two and recommended moving the public celebration later in the season to ensure a finished and welcoming downtown.
Project staff reported the construction substantial completion date for roads and primary work is mid‑August (staff cited Aug. 16 as a target) but said punch‑list and Heritage Park finishes could extend beyond that date. Because of rain days and final touches, several board members recommended holding the community shopping event and a ribbon cutting in late September or October so merchants and the public see a completed project.
Sam described the event format (horseshoe tables, department booths for permitting and development services) and emphasized a survey/QR‑code option for collecting business‑owner input and questions. Board members asked staff to coordinate event timing with the D3 contractor’s schedule and with the calendar of fall events (wine walk, Rhythm & Rails, Fall Fest) to avoid overlap and maximize merchant participation.
No formal vote changed the previously discussed dates; staff will confirm construction progress and return with recommended event dates and contingency plans.
