TDLR completed plan review in January 2025, and construction was scheduled to begin in February 2025 with a completion date of September 2025. Although that scheduled date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Therefore, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and the completion of all construction activities remains unverified in the official registry.
