The next phase of construction is set to begin on The Village Promenade this week.
Completion of the $5 million parking garage’s foundation means the structure is almost a quarter of the way completed, said Jeffrey Schroeder, project executive from Garmong Construction.
“We’re complete with all of the footings and foundation walls,” he said.
Schroeder said construction on the actual parking deck will begin this week.
Although Garmong will be placing the concrete themselves, Coreslab Structures of Indianapolis made the precasted pieces.
Garmong initially said its goal was to utilize as much local labor as possible, but lack of precast companies in Muncie made them look elsewhere for subcontractors.
“There’s not a company that does precast in Muncie,” Schroeder said.
Garmong has yet to find contractors for the electric and plumbing phases of the project.
“Our goal is to have all of the subcontracts [hired] by the end of this month,” Schroeder said.
The parking structure is expected to be completed by April.
