October, 2020 Update
We completed interviews and onsite meetings with several prospective Construction Managers and Interior Designers and are evaluating their proposals, checking references, etc. We should have the team in place shortly.
September, 2020 Update
We want to let you know from time to time how we are proceeding with the Vision 2020 project, (we will be shooting for monthly at least) and to answer questions we have received.
As we promised, we continue to list all payments and payees on the Vision 2020 website.
Originally we hoped to break ground in the late Spring of 2021. Because of COVID-related delays, that has been pushed to the Fall.
Finally, people want to know where we will be moving during construction. No, we are not taking over the old Waldbaums! We will look for space after the New Year. We are confident that we will be able to find a suitable site when the time comes.
If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to call or email us--we are always happy to talk with you!

- We have met several times with the architect and are working on designs, the survey, etc. As you may recall, the plans we used during the Spring were for budget purposes only. We have taken literally dozens of suggestions we received from the public and are incorporating them into tightening up the design.
- We sent out a Request for Proposal for various positions and received dozens of responses. We have now conducted first interviews with approximately 20 Construction Managers, interior designers, audio/visual consultants, demonstration kitchen consultants, and security consultants. We hope to have the Pre-Construction team in place later this month.
- We have entered into a contract, subject to a variance, to purchase the property adjacent to our west parking lot (behind the doctor's office we are also in contract for). This will allow us to square off the parking lot, provide better ingress and egress, and create even more parking spots.
- We are moving the entrance of the building from the middle to the westerly side of the building so that it is near the parking lot and the crosswalk. This will be more convenient, safer, and will limit the noise associated with the entrance from the rest of the building.
