CENTRAL GATE PROJECT
The Central Gate Project is one of the major pieces of our infrastructure program, accounting for approximately 10% of the overall assessment budget.
This project involves the removal of the existing small central gate building and its replacement with a new, more efficient two-story building that will also serve as the "command center" for our campuswide security operation. It will also allow some security staff to remain onsite should the need arise, ensuring the well-being and security of JL residents.
The construction phase has been scheduled for the summer of 2022. There are considerable steps required in preparing for that construction. We have recently engaged a site planner to work with our staff, the reserve study committee, and Palm Beach County to determine the extent of revisions that will be allowed. The next partner to join the "team" will be the design firm that will finalize the space components, building footprint, appearance, and associated site work around it. The mission is to provide the needed program elements, a tasteful design, and an "on time delivery" while maintaining the overall budget.
As of this date almost 60% of the total assessment work has been awarded, with the overall costs remaining "on track".
