01/07/2025 – IMD: Building Construction Update, Keep your Vehicles Safe

We’re excited to share the latest progress on the community building project. Over the next few days, crews will be focused on completing framing and roofing work. Roofing installation is slated to begin on Friday and continue through the following week. Once the roof is in place, we’ll move on to spray foam insulation, followed by HVAC rough-in work the week after.

Please be aware that due to the nature of the construction and the weather, there may be some Saturday work days for our crews to ensure we stay on schedule. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to make strides toward completing the building!

Utilities and sanitary sewer connections have been completed, and the walls are now up. Roofing work is next on the schedule. The storm drainage line around the building is expected to be completed within the next three days.

Construction of the new Community Building continues to make progress. On December 20th, crews poured the sidewalks and curb gutters to provide safe and accessible pathways and channel the rainwater away from the building. Work is also ongoing on the building’s walls, and roof trusses are scheduled for delivery early next week.

This portion of sidewalk will be inaccessible to foot traffic for a week while the concrete cures, please see the map below. Site cleanup and landscaping grading will follow shortly. Coordination with the City of Aurora for a hydrant flush is also underway. View the building construction webpage for more details.

Starting Monday morning (12/9/2024), there will be a temporary road closure with traffic control in place, on S Zante, between 8808 and 8798, to allow for necessary work connecting the water and sewer mains for the Inspiration Club construction.

The closure will begin on Monday, December 9th and is expected to be completed by Friday, December 13th. Please see the confirmed road closure map for additional details
