23 Feb North Lot (Stadium Place) Construction

While we are all thrilled that the North Lot Development is finally underway, some residents and office workers have complaints about the noise from the pile driver.

An actual twitter feed:

If you would like to contact their team with any comments, you can email info@nsco.com or you can stop by the project office at First & King once it gets set up.
