We are writing to update you on the progress of transforming the North Columbia Heights Green (NCHG).
Great news: The general contract work is about to begin! This will start with the fence and bollards, then the parking area. This phase of work will finish next month.
As soon as the fence is up, we need help building the planter boxes and advancing the landscape. Please let us know if you are interested in participating in this phase of the project.
With the help of local volunteers, we were able to clear debris and excess materials from the site, and are looking forward to the grading portion of the project as well.
We are still concerned with the illegal dumping onto our site. Although not to the severity of prior instances, dumpers still ignore our signs and site protection fence and continue their illegal behavior. So we need your continuing help to let us know if you see anything dumped or being dumped on the site.
Once again, we thank you for your continuous support and help with this process and look forward to the implementation of NCHG as a sustainable Green for the entire community.
All the best,
