Ground Breaking - January 2, 2024
Ground broke in early January with the team from Webster Montessori, Edge Architecture, and Edge Building and Construction. While it was bitter cold for the ground breaking we were grateful for the mild start to winter. Prep for the site began in early December. We look forward to sharing the construction progress. Renderings from Edge Architecture are included below.
