October 1 Update
The Total Turf experience is coming soon. As of this weekend (October 2) the Operations Building steel has been erected, the parking lots have been curbed, the entrance and front curbs have been poured and half of the landscaping is completed to finalize the retention basin. The exterior walls of the Operations Building will be installed this week and the mechanical and electrical “rough-ins” will also begin this week. The steel for the arena is being staged this week for erection next week and the difference between the 25’ walls in the Operations Building and the 50’ walls in the arena are about to become obvious. As you can see from the picture, the building is taking shape. Stop by the site and visit Brad and Dallas and share in the excitement that we experience every day.
