Construction crews have done much of the labor-intensive underground work to update the drainage system and will soon begin on the pavers and finishing touches.
Meanwhile, the construction site has been an inconvenience to pedestrians and traffic to navigate around. As for the timeline for completion, city leaders are confident the park will be finished by the deadline of the tree lighting.
“Yesterday was actually D-Day plus 30 days to lighting the tree so we had a conversation about that. We’re meeting tomorrow morning. We meet every Friday and we’ve got a clear plan where that plaza’s going to be open,” said Fairhope Public Works Director Richard Johnson. “There’s going to be a Christmas tree. There’s going to be trees planted in those tree wells and it’s going to be open to the public.
City crews will have to do some curb work and other minor touchups after the plaza opens. The $230,000 cost of the project is being paid out of the city’s general fund.
