Next step for Lawrenceville Lawn parking project: grading the lot

Now that the former Lawrenceville Auto Parts at 15 South Clayton St. demolition is complete, additional funds are needed for grading the lot that will provide parking for the Lawrenceville Lawn.

Originally this was a contract for demolition only with no site grading planned. After the auto parts buildings and tanks were removed it was determined that the site grading should be revised to facilitate upper and lower parking areas. The lower area will function as VIP parking for the Lawn Stage area.

The original contractor, Complete Demolition Services LLC is not equipped to provide this degree of grading. The project approved Monday by the Lawrenceville City Council for $26,560 includes grading smooth the upper and lower parking area, installing five inches of grated aggregate base and installing concrete barriers like those used at the Public Works Facility.
