Kick Off
After taking a small break from meetings, the team gave the residents an update on the Alazan Apache Expansion. We talked about the timeline for the project, the most recent design changes, and the next steps for the project.
After the Alazan Apache update, we set some time aside for any questions that new Apache residents might have. We then moved on to our design feedback activity.
