Our Marketing Team, Derek Miller and Jaime Young, made the trip! Derek flew the drone for construction aerials and took all our awesome pictures of the event, while Jaime live-tweeted the proceedings.

Flaherty & Collins Properties CEO David Flaherty spoke about what the project will do for the City of New Albany and its residents. Among the highlights, a projected $30 million economic impact over the next five years and the creation of over 200 new construction jobs, not to mention the roughly 300 new residents that will be brought to downtown New Albany.
