PIONEER FOOD MARKET CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

The Building Committee has been very busy as we continue our weekly coordination meetings with our construction and design team and staff. The past month saw a huge transformation of the Pioneer Food Market, including flooring, framing, drywalling, painting, electrical and plumbing installations, and equipment deliveries.

On July 30th, Architect Beth Lacey joined a number of TCFC Board members and staff members as we welcomed the public into the Market for a "construction preview". It was a great success and gave the community an opportunity to ask questions, see our store design and experience the progress up-close. The week of that event coincided with the arrival of our new overhead lighting, gondola shelving, and a number of other pieces of refrigerated equipment.

We appreciate the efforts of the staff members that work with the Building Committee on a regular basis. From organizing the operational goals of the Market, to overseeing the Co-op's financial health, and promoting our presence in the community, Bill Fagan, Bruce Storm, and Sandra Sweeney continue to show great dedication to this project.

At our last meeting, John Luke Hodorowski and Kristan Hodorowski of JLuk Construction Company presented an updated schedule for the remainder of the construction phase. We are looking forward to completing the renovations in September and moving swiftly toward opening the Pioneer Food Market this fall!
