In session Tuesday evening, the City of Early City Council discussed financial strategies for next steps on the Town Center Development projects.

City Administrator Tony Aaron updated the Council on where they are currently on the project.

Within a few days, construction will be priming the parking lot and wrapping up setting the concrete on Early Boulevard. The project has drug out longer than expected due to getting water and sewer lines in place and to relocate certain utilities.

Within six weeks or less Early Boulevard should be opened to the public. Everything should be in place, streetlights, etc. They are waiting on Oncor to establish the electrical lines in the area.

On the Town Center Project, the city is 90% completed on sidewalk plans.

The Lake will begin construction in November.

They need to start drilling the piers for the boardwalk and they’ve already budgeted $400,000 for the beginning of the boardwalk.

The batting cages are planned and ready to go out for bid. Those will be on the Early Municipal Development District Agenda and City Council agenda.

The city is about 60-75% complete with the boardwalk engineering plans.
