Construction is progressing on Southside Elementary School
Work continues for concrete footings and foundations on the north side of the site. Construction crews are pouring the concrete footings several days a week, with foundation wall pours happening almost as frequently. The underground plumbing and electric piping is complete on the south side of the project site. Crews will soon start pouring the first section of the concrete foundation slab.
The site is prepped with a vapor barrier prior to pouring the first section of the concrete foundation slab
