Initial Tree Removal

The area surrounding the construction site must be carefully cleared and graded to accommodate construction activities. Although there will be a visual impact during construction, an extensive landscaping effort is a critical part of the project design. Tree removal began on August 11th, 2009 and is 98% complete.
