NEWS AND INFORMATION


Here's an update on the White Rock Spillway project which is on schedule to be completed by April, 2010

They are concurrently building both retaining walls, with the north wall being near complete.  The south wall (on the Garland Road side) has the tallest walls on the project and is more time consuming, but is coming together with the formed concrete panels and the limestone columns that are in place. 

The parking lot off Winsted has been leveled, and most of the new concrete paved parking lot is finished with proper drainage installed.

The promenade, overlooks, and landscaping will all be done later in the project, as to add to the function, safety, and aesthetic.

So far, the weather has cooperated ... with the exception of last week's record rainfalls.
