Construction Timeline and Status

TDLR completed plan review in October 2025, and the construction start was scheduled for November 2025. The filing indicated a completion date of July 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project remains in the review complete status within the Texas Accessibility Board system, with no final sign-off documented in the public data provided.

In Grayson County, the median estimated cost for similar additions to existing buildings is $575,000, with a median size of 4,695 sq ft. This project's cost is above the county median for its type, placing it in the top quarter of recent filings.
