The Library & The Prospector: Twice As Much Fun on Prospect Street!

Several people have commented on the considerable size of the construction site at the corner of Main and Prospect Streets.  From some angles, the entire block seems like one big hole dug most of way down to China.  We just wanted to remind people that there are actually two separate construction projects going on in that area.

The Library has completed demolition and excavation and is busy with foundation work on its portion of the block, closer to Main Street.  At the same time, on largely the same construction schedule, The Prospector movie theater project has demolished the old bank/theater further down the block on Prospect and is pouring concrete for its own building.  The two teams of builders are carefully coordinating efforts to accommodate a lot of big machinery in a tight proximity!

So what you are seeing is actually the beginnings of two buildings that together will form an exciting cultural campus in the heart of downtown.
