We have been told by Mike Marcum (contractor) the square will be completed in about 2 weeks. There has been some really good progress since the last pictures were posted.  You will see the outer sidewalks have been laid, the ramp to the pavilion completed, the new flag pole installed, new picnic tables and work on the settler area is in work.

The southesast corner - The Settler Area work has continued.  This corner will be different than either of the other corners.  This one will not only have the railings between the columns that are shown but also will continue to columns built at the edge of the sidewalks.                                                                                          Photo:  Norman L.

Southwest corner - showing handicap access and new sidewalk.  The sidewalk will actually have a terra cotta color with the brick on each side of the sidewalk.  This cannot be seen because there is a white perservative added. Note:  Handicap access was required by TXDOT to be on both south corners because they lead to a stop sign.                                                                Photo:  Norman L. Newton
