Presenter says new Cole County juvenile center remains on track for March despite spring weather
Summary
A contractor updated the Cole County Commission on rapid progress at the new juvenile center, saying interior framing and MEP work are starting and that weather delays were managed to keep a March completion target; commissioners were invited to tour the site.
A presenter gave the commission an on-site construction update for the new juvenile center on Wanna Street, saying progress has accelerated and interior work is now under way. "We've had a lot of weather this spring, but found a way to sequence around it and keep our end date of March intact," the presenter said, describing framing, interior walls and upcoming roof and MEP work.
Commissioners praised the project's safety record; one commissioner noted the contractor's regular safety meetings and the lack of lost-time injuries. The presenter invited commissioners to schedule tours over the next couple months, with site check-in at the contractor trailer and provision of hard hats and vests. The commission did not take formal action on the construction update but discussed logistics for moving operations and timing for vacating the existing juvenile facility.
