proceeding in multiple areas on the site. Washington Gas continues to bring
gas lines to each new building. 

 

Grading for the pervious pavement drainage system, under the Whole Foods
parking lot, will continue. The installation of the asphalt base course for
the widening of Route 1 is underway. Underground conduit installation for
the new traffic signal at Van Buren St. and Route 1 has begun. Construction
