A special THANKS to the volunteers from the Audubon Society, NC Bird Club, the Native Plant Society, and Peacehaven Farm who came out on Friday and Saturday to begin the process of sheet mulching the site in preparation for the Innovation Cornerstone and the plantings that will go around the site.

Click here to see all the photos from both workdays.
The design for the Innovation Cornerstone at the corner of Lindsay and Murrow Blvd was approved in October.  Detailed work on engineered drawings is underway and construction will begin on the site in March. Anticipated completion of the site and a dedication is expected late spring/early summer 2016.
For more information about the Innovation Cornerstone, go to our website.
