DDA hears construction updates: Burger King site delayed, PNC site moves forward
Summary
Staff said work at 172 West 14 Mile (the old Burger King site) has slowed due to contractor delays and a steel-related change order, while the 150 North Main (former PNC) project recently received final Eagle approvals and construction is progressing.
Staff provided updates on three downtown development sites. One East 14 Mile is targeting a holiday opening and may begin work imminently; 172 West 14 Mile (the former Burger King location) is experiencing delays tied to contractors and a steel-related change order; and 150 North Main (the former PNC property) recently received final Eagle approvals, removing a regulatory hurdle and allowing construction to continue.
A staff member told the board that contractors at the Burger King site expect to begin underground plumbing soon but that overall work is proceeding more slowly than hoped because of change orders. "They do have plans to get some of the underground plumbing going hopefully this week," staff said. Board members noted the positive news at 150 North Main and discussed tracking DPW man-hours and other shared-cost accounting to better capture DDA-specific investments for an annual infographic and economic development snapshot.
Next steps: staff will continue monitoring timelines, seek DPW figures to estimate DDA-specific investments and prepare a DDA investment snapshot for the board next month.
