Default .....nothing is happening?

As of today, Sunday, May 31, there's no signs of any construction activity at the old MP-HQ on the waterfront at the Glendale Docks. No construction vehicles, no signs, no materials, no orange cones, no construction fencing, NO NOTHING, and the nearby Glendale Marina which was sold for 1.1-mil for the expanded footprint under the new MP-HQ structure is still operating as a marina business.

I smell the Republican controlled state legislature at work here! After all, they are the 'Party of No' who always finds a way to vote no, do nothing, and just let the state roads, state parks, and state buildings continue to deteriorate and crumble. They like to vote no, so's I smell them 'publicans at work here when absolutely no MP-HQ construction has yet to be happening here.

Default Something . . .

was definitely happening there yesterday morning.

And blaming the Republicans for a slowdown in construction FLL for something that is moving forward is quite ridiculous. The state got there $11.1M for this "improvement" as the sky is falling (or rather, the building is sinking), or is it "we want more, and shiny too"?

What I saw today, Sunday, May 31, at the MP-HQ building was no signs of the expected demolition, or construction; nothing to suggest a demolition-construction project is soon to happen there based on what is there, at this time.

As the saying goes, seeing it is believing it! Maybe this will change starting tomorrow on June 1, but only time will tell? As already mentioned, the NH-Republican controlled legislature likes to say no because it costs too much, and that NH has a spending problem as opposed to a taxing problem.

Nothing will happen until after July 1st. That is when all boats are required to be out of Glendale Marine. Once that occurs, demolition should begin...

Default I for one . . .

am not looking forward to all the noise. I hope they start working at a decent hour. Guessing mornings on the deck will not be serene this year. And, progress.

Do you know where they are going to keep the boats while this is happening?

The Marina is shutting down completely. They will no longer be in business. All customers boats must be gone by July 1st I was told (my previous post had the incorrect date and was revised) , that is when construction / demolition will most likely begin. Understand however, it will start off slowly as I believe there is some "hot work" (asbestos abatement) that has to be done first. Most likely the old windows / putty in the marina. This in itself will take some time and proper coordination.

While FLL may think the wrecking ball simply shows up and in 1 1/2 days the buildings will be gone, that's simply not at all how it works.

What I mean is there are nothing like construction fencing, signs, vehicles, materials usually seen at a construction site that one would expect to see at an active demolition-construction site of this scale, so it seems like nothing is happening here .... wait & see .... time will tell ....here's hoping it gets going big-time.

Most likely, the docks and patrol boats will remain in use during the demolition-construction that is supposedly scheduled to start on June 15.

As I was saying in another thread, FLL loves to blame the republicans:
