Power poles

One of the problems of getting the construction started has been the relocation of the power poles. The relocation costs thousands of dollars. Once the payment issue was settled, there was the matter of where the poles were to be placed. It seems that they were planned right where some water pipes are. However, after some re-thinking, it appears that the placement issue has been solved. It may take another six weeks after this project gets on the work schedule for it to get done. This work has to be done before construction can start. But . . . we are moving forward despite the delays. And we have received several nice grants lately. Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far to the new construction project.
