Big Wave story poles up; Next hearing Weds, Oct 27

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story had in incorrect date for the meeting.

The story poles for some of the Big Wave buildings have gone up in advance of next Wednesday’s hearing on the Final Environmental Impact report.  Lisa Ketcham photographed the the structures and enhanced them to make the more visible in these photos. Lisa says, "The middle 4 office buildings are represented by tape laid out on the ground.  There’s no indication of the other sections of Wellness Center."
