The Earth Moved! And is Moving!

Brookhollow Estates started earth moving last Friday. The heavy equipment is at work preparing the land for residential development. This stage of construction is expected to last until December 15th. If the winter isn't too harsh, then work will continue on the water and sanitation lines so housing construction can begin in the spring. Hopefully there will be new homes occupied late summer or thereabouts.

The north part of the work site, November 20, 2013

This is the south part of the work site not far from Motherwell.

 

This is the soil storage area. The site was selected because it is the future site of a small commercial area which is expected to be developed towards the end of the project.

 

I don't have information for you regarding buying lots and hiring contractors. Marathon Equities, also known as Marathon Properties, is the developer. The Town Office has been responding to numerous calls from prospective builders and buyers and they have been referred to Marathon.

 

There will be a sod turning ceremony after the Grey Cup Game; the date is to be determined. Wouldn't that be a good party? New neighbours and development on the one hand and a 'Green' Grey Cup!

 

Have a good week and yes, finally, houses are coming.

 

I apologize about the smaller pictures but recently I have been having formatting problems with the blog.
