TIES community center groundbreaking set for Friday, staff says demolition and piling to begin
Summary
Village staff said demolition of the old Public Works building is underway and foundation pile drilling for the TIES community center will begin Monday; staff expects construction to move quickly and aims to complete some work ahead of next year's World Cup.
Village staff gave an update on the TIES project, saying demolition of the old Public Works building has started and that the project is running roughly a month behind schedule. Staff said foundation piling for the community center is scheduled to start Monday, and they described weekly coordination meetings with the architect and an owner's representative to keep the schedule on track.
"On Friday, we are having the groundbreaking," Speaker 1 said. Staff also said external agencies (Durham County environmental reviewers and the county fire department) will each review construction submittals and that the village is working to expedite reviews. Speaker 5 said the team's plan aims to complete the center before the World Cup and that village departments are assisting with plan review.
Next steps include fence installation for safety, erosion and soil management activities tied to the demolition site, and continued coordination with the school board for sports-field work adjacent to the site.
