ASPHALT

To redo the asphalt completely, we will have to schedule for summer 2025.

 

Patching is our best option for immediate repair.

  • Main car line--$6,500.00 estimate (priority #1)
  • Flag pole area--$8,000.00 estimate (priority #3)
  • Corners----$1,000.00 estimate (priority #2)

Patching will extend the life of the parking lot by a few years.

 

The Committee recommends that priority #1 and #2 are repaired this year.  If able, repair all three areas.

 

The committee recommends a restructuring of the parking lot next summer (2025).

  • Repaving
