Timeline and Status

TDLR completed the plan review for this project in February 2026. Construction was scheduled to begin in April 2026, with a completion date listed as August 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. This means the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

The estimated cost of $51,000 is below the county median of $250,000 for this type of work. The cost per square foot of $31 is also below the county median of $85.
