After an extended delay in any work being performed at the new Parlor Bluffs housing development on 200 North (Monroe Street), east of Main Street, a crew from Brooks Construction has been busy this week getting the roadways prepared for paving. Bluffton Mayor John Whicker said there had been some compaction issues with the roadways that have apparently been solved. A spokesperson for the DR Horton Co. told the News-Banner that after the streets have been paved and the plots recorded, they will begin construction of homes in the addition. Above, Jayce Beeks performs measurements for the roadway’s curbs while in the background, “fine grading” is being completed. Beeks estimated the paving should be completed by the end of next week.
