Well 2022 has flown by and here we are in 2023 looking towards new opportunities and challenges. The MEP/FP upgrades at Aspen Elementary and the addition at Hawthorn Middle School South have moved right along, though not without challenges. As we have all experienced, supply chain issues continue to plague our projects, particularly in capital equipment. But, with creative leadership, cooperation, and coordination by all the stakeholders, the work progresses. Now, in 2023, the Hawthorn CCSD 73 program team has begun expedited submittal reviews and approvals for the Hawthorn Elementary School North renovation/upgrades project.
