This will involve front entrance improvements, including: new signage, clearing/preparing the site for construction, and initial deliveries of required equipment. Drilling for electrodes to heat the ground and vapor extraction wells will begin in early December. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend the meeting on November 30 to hear more details.
