Construction Update - March 6, 2024

File Construction completed concrete work and site grading.  Next step is to install the emergency generator, propane tank and pumps.  Alderman Electric will be installing the controls soon.  The jib crane will be installed next week after the concrete pad has had time to cure.  PNM has the easement drawings and will hopefully install the new electrical service soon.
