Have all of Drewlo's sites shut down?
I thought someone earlier had mentioned this one was a lower priority and they were taking their time with it until other ones were wrapped up and they had more manpower.
Do they have other sites on the go? Not in WR as far as I know?

They may have ugly buildings, but this is a good decision on their part. I somewhat doubt any other builders will do the same...they have far too much money invested in getting places like Garment Street, Charlie West, Duke Tower etc complete. But for the sake of workers, they really should.

But for the sake of workers, they really should. I agree. As much as I like to see work continue on projects like this, this is the right thing to do. No sense in putting people's lives at risk over a building.

I get the justification to allow job sites to continue, but I don't agree with it.

There's a story in The Record about the environmental cleanup getting approved for tax increment financing. It includes a render that I don't remember seeing before.

Not yet. There are a few people on site but no significant activity yet.

Interesting. I wonder if there are many construction companies that are allowed to work but are choosing not to?

There's probably a lot of workers that are choosing to stay home and stay safe. There's not really any way to do construction and social-distance at the same time. The lunch trailer is the perfect place to sit and breath on each other for a while every day too.
