🚧 Weather permitting, we have a resurfacing/lining project scheduled Oct. 9 - 20 (*new phased dates*) for the highlighted portion of the Hope Valley Farms YMCA parking lot.

The HVF branch and related programming is expected to continue as usual. We just ask that all drivers and pedestrians be on the lookout for each other and our paving partners who will assist with traffic management.

More details and continuing updates can be found online:
