Just moved in across the street in July and have been taking a picture once every few days. (Trying to from the same spot at least).

What exactly was delivered for phase 2?
The dirt or crushed stone dumped outside the north end of the construction zone is gone. Either they cancelled the ground breaking ceremony and the next two phases or they needed the material for phase 1. I was wondering if another fence push out was in the works? :)
