Week of 12/02/13 – Pardon the gap in timely reporting, but, unfortunately, there isn’t as much to report as usual. We are having to play the waiting game right now while we allow the process of determining the cost of toxic abatement to play out. Environmental remediation on old structures is always a bear, but the Norwood House sits on public parkland, making abatement particularly complicated. It’s also a wild card in our budget; therefore, it’s wise to put some activities on hold while we wait to see how much abatement will cost. In the meantime, we’re making progress on the future floor plan and we’re also moving forward with plans for a future competition regarding design of the Norwood landscape. We hope to have a figure on abatement in the very near future; that will determine our schedule for beginning the hands-on work at the site. Stay tuned.
