August 11 – Moving the Job Site Trailers

The contractor’s storage and office trailers have been on site for a year, and now they need to move to make way for parking lot construction. At the same time, AMBS is beginning their chapel renovation project using the same general contractor. Moving the trailers next to the AMBS chapel parking lot gets them out of the way for paving and landscaping, keeps them near the job site, and allows them to be used for the chapel project at the same time.
