January target for Scott Street Parking Garage project completion
City officials expect to finish the Scott Street Parking Garage demolition by early January 2013 as mild winter weather aids crews. The project advances with a new brick facade on First Century Bank, a staircase to the Kee Federal Building, and a retaining wall moved away from the sidewalk. Weather conditions remain key as concrete pours depend on temperatures around 40 degrees or higher and dry conditions. The paving will wait until spring as the site is prepared for landscaping and sod by the Bluefield Beautification Commission.
