At home on 3rd Avenue
It looks peaceful on the outside… but on the inside the rooms are all framed, plumbing is roughed in, electrical is almost done, and we’re putting up drywall.
KDO is excited to be contributing to the revitalization of this section of third avenue. We’re hopeful that the vacant buildings along here will find new life and opportunity soon!
Walls!
Baby steps towards KDO 2!
There’s snow on the ground and a chill in the air, but with the help of our trusty local contractors and the City of Dawson we are charging ahead with construction of our next 8-plex.
Supporting a year-round economy is important to KDO as a community economic development focused organization, so we are pleased to once again be shopping and hiring local as much as possible, and to be constructing through the winter months.
Thanks to Gammie Trucking for their stellar work completing our excavation and backfill so quickly:
Here’s a fun shot of the Oro Enterprises construction crew who were out building forms for the concrete footings:
And thanks to Grenon Enterprises and City of Dawson for taking care of the water and sewer installation pretty much ‘just in the nick of time’ in terms of weather:
