Great progress with some great partners!

Construction continues at the new Wabash Township administrative facility in West Lafayette, Indiana. This week, our team started pouring the slab for the future 11,000 SF building, marking a major milestone for the project.

Once complete, this facility will serve as a true community hub, bringing together township services, emergency response operations, and a dedicated community food pantry under one roof.

We are proud to continue working alongside Wabash Township, PLG Group, GM Development, ARKOR Architects & Engineers, Kimley-Horn, and Design-Aire Engineering, Inc. on this impactful project!
