New Construction Project Update – Jul. 2023

The excitement continues for CityLink at the construction of our new maintenance garage and three-story building! The 1st floor that will house the maintenance garage and office is moving along nicely. The goal is to have the maintenance move into this space by the end of this year. The 2nd floor is also a priority as it will house the operations/dispatch center, training rooms, and administrative offices that are currently located in the south garage. Phase B, which is the south garage renovation, is dependent on the 1st and 2nd floors getting completed on schedule. Wall framing has begun on the 3rd floor for the offices that will be located on this floor.

On July 6, GPMTD Board Trustee Sharon McBride was joined by her sons Matthew and Nathan for a tour of the first floor of the construction site with CityLink GM Doug Roelfs and AGM Nick Standefer.
