    • Hi AL;

      Construction was halted in late April 2018 due to several archeological and human remains being found. Metro is trying to resume work this month and, if so, completion is targeted at May 2020. There is a staff report on the project set to go to the Board this month — agendas are set to be posted late Friday afternoon for the Metro Board Committees. This one would be for the Construction Committee and the report would be posted here: https://boardagendas.metro.net/event/construction-committee-dc9a7b0b601d/

      • Thanks for updates. wow. a year stopped just because some dead bodies were found.

  3. 150 billion in cash to a known terrorist enemy state of the U.S. Sounds like a perfect gift for a president that basically didn’t accomplish anything positive…
