At the homebuyer informational meeting in mid-February, Chris Krager of KRDB told the crowd that they hoped to have building permits in hand and foundations on the ground sometime in March. For the next month I anxiously patroled Perry Road, awaiting signs of movement. After 6 long weeks of making excuses to drive or run by the site for a peek at progress, nothing had changed. I went out of my way to pass by the site less and less. My hope dwindled. The lot sat empty, paved roads led to nowhere and curbs held back nothing but weeds and soil.
But then yesterday something happened. On my way to work I peered through my neighborhood and spied a contractor’s van on the site. So I decided to pass by for a closer look on my way home last night. Sure enough, the outlines of 2 new houses have started to take shape. Hooray for progress!
