Closed campaign successfully last month and now we are on to the project phase -- bid is posted for general contractor this week and we will hopefully begin construction Jan 2021]]> 2020-11-04 21:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mbernstine/kp419euhs3pdi8kp/wish/892020706 Covid had had two major impacts. The first is that it was partly responsible for causing a delay on the start of construction, which moved out planned opening from April 2021 to September/October for the nonprofit buildings and to early 2022 for the apartments. The second major effect is on space planning. We jettisoned a plan to have a co-working space, and we are having to rethink office space design for our tenants. https://padlet.com/mbernstine/kp419euhs3pdi8kp/wish/892022826 2020-11-04 22:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mbernstine/kp419euhs3pdi8kp/wish/892022826 Focus on businesses and providing resources for businesses instead of events.
