The Vogel Creek Conveyance Improvement Project


Recent Activity

Status of the Vogel Creek Conveyance Improvement Project
Construction on the ultimate improvements to Vogel Creek is underway. The $9.4 million construction project should take approximately 300 "working days" to complete, typically about 30 months, depending on weather. In early 2007, the original construction budget of $9.8 million was reduced to $9.4 million due to the exclusion of the installation of the Inwood Forest golf cart bridges.

The construction contractor will determine the schedule and sequence of work.
