Forbes Hall Expansion Update: February 7, 2020

As posted previously, construction has been halted to enable the Board and Committee to review cost saving opportunities both for the hall construction as well as future operating costs. 

During the last week of January the Board and Committee met with the Project Facilitator to clarify details of the revised hall plans, his role and responsibilities as TICA’s representative for the expansion project, reporting and scheduling requirements and as a liaison between the General Contractor and the Architect.

During the first week of February the Forbes Hall Expansion Committee and TICA met with several community members who had responded to our request for assistance with insight into building specifics, project planning and management, community involvement, and communications. The assistance and expertise has been much appreciated. 

Further meetings were held with knowledgeable community members and the building inspector to expedite some of the existing drainage issues on the construction site. The assistance and knowledge of people within the community was appreciated in addressing this construction challenge at the worksite. 

Please plan to attend the information meeting at Pioneer Pacific on February 29th where details of the revised building, progress and plans will be reviewed.
