Jul 17, 2025

The meeting also recorded unanimous votes on agenda, minutes, change orders and adjournment.

The full story

John Nuzum reported the project is currently operating only on a footing and foundation permit while the State works with Wold on permissions for next steps; he said he will issue a new project schedule once additional approvals are finalized. Nuzum also reported that "a crane was delivered today for use on-site next week" and that the project team contacted the Federal Aviation Administration to notify nearby airports and helipads. Nuzum noted that Lifelink was notified about the crane because a non-lit helipad sometimes used by the Highway Department is in the vicinity.
