The electrical contractor has already filed the necessary permit to conduct testing of the building's electrical systems. We are currently awaiting submission of the plumbing permit to perform integrity testing of the gas piping system and complete the required utility assessments.

Sorry for the inconveniences. Thank you to those who are working together to get the businesses up and running again.
