Alligator Point Project Update – July 7, 2025

As discussed in our June 17th meeting, we're pleased to share the latest developments across our active project areas:

🛠️ Project Board

The project board has officially been sent for production. Although, it's late in this process, it is still required.

🦺Job Board

Will be installed Wednesday morning. 

🏗️ BABAA Certification

The Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) certification has been updated. Ford has clarified that the act has always been referred to as BABAA, not BABA. We are currently awaiting confirmation on whether the extra "A" will be dropped, as requested during the meeting.

• Sweeping throughout the area

These improvements aim to enhance both the appearance and functionality of the subdivision.

• Pipe installation Completed on Dune
• Pipe installation is on track for completion by Friday.

UPDATE FOR 6/12/25

Update on Alligator Point Water Distribution Expansion

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to provide an update on the ongoing water distribution expansion project at Alligator Point.

We received a couple of complaints from residents regarding road damage, road construction signs, and busted concrete from the digging. I am pleased to inform you that these matters have been addressed and resolved.

Additionally, I have reached out to the Virginia-Franklin County Road Department, inquiring if there is an empty lot owned by the county nearby. We hope to obtain approval to use this lot for dropping off concrete and debris to keep the job site clean. We will haul off the debris after the project is completed. We are currently awaiting a response on this matter.

As we worked our way around Pine Street, we noticed a leaning power pole at the intersection of Pine and Oak Street. A report has been filed with FPL, reference number 100017400638.

The pipe & hydrants along Pine Street have been completed, and the bore at Pine & Alligator.

A small portion of Maple has been started. We will be completing it and then over to Magnolia to conclude the Sun N Sand Subdivision. 

Southern Dunes Subdivision will follow. 

 UPDATE FOR 6/4/25

 Project Update: Pipe Installation Progress and Permit Submission

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to provide an update on our ongoing project.

Despite facing a few challenges, we have successfully laid approximately 2,000 feet of pipe. There should be significant progress moving forward.

During this process, we were contacted by Howard from the Franklin County Road Department, who inquired about not being notified of our project. Following this, I was introduced to Virginia within his office.

On June 1st, I submitted the requested application for the permit, along with the necessary plans and notice to proceed. 

UPDATE FOR 5/23/25
