IBR PHASE 1: Phase 1 of the project was successfully completed in the fall of 2023. As part of the ongoing efforts to enhance the surroundings, some minor landscaping work are scheduled for spring 2024.
IBR PHASE 2: Phase 2 construction will begin in summer of 2024, specifically situated between CR 4 and CR 54/10th Sideroad. This extensive project will span over two construction seasons, with a completion date in 2026. The scope of this project encompasses various essential components:
