lot construction for the Walton Arts Center.

project now before sidewalks were put down and then had to be torn
up at a later date.

such a quick fashion before building the sidewalks.

save money by not having to tear up any sidewalks, streets, etc.,
by doing the underground and/or drainage work first.

order for the Walton Arts Center parking project.
