Communication Channels during Construction

1/3/2020

0 Comments

 
Now that demolition has begun at 543 Richmond West, the time has arrived to establish communication channels between Pemberton and the community.

Pemberton's channel is an information portal ...  https://pembertongroup.com/543-richmond/construction-update/ .  From this link, review the Construction Management Plan (permit issuance outstanding) and note that the GDNA will be kept in the loop via regular emails and/or meetings.  From the same link, the Construction Update Schedule, currently empty, will provide regular updates and invites community members to be added to a circulation list ... here.  An emergency contact number will be posted when the hoarding has been installed.

To complement this initiative, the GDNA has created a Google discussion group ... ​https://groups.google.com/d/forum/gdna-543-richmond-construction.  Community members (residents, businesses, anyone) interested in construction at Richmond and Portland are encouraged to join this discussion group to communicate with the construction team, ask questions and share observations ... and also to receive updates.
