Site work and new construction of a day care center in Portland, Texas. Completed plans call for the construction of a 103,113-square-foot day care center.

The site of the planned Early Childhood Center is located at 608 College Street in Portland, Texas. Specifically, the approximate 10-acre and rectangular shaped site is bound by Daniel Moore Avenue to the north, Dallas Street to the east, College Street to the south and Austin Street to the west. The site is generally located within the southwest portion of Portland, approximately 1/2 mile north of Highway 35. The general area of the site primarily consists of single-family residences. A Site Vicinity Map is presented in the Appendix. Portions of the site are currently developed with existing buildings, pavement parking and drive areas and sidewalks, all of which will be razed to facilitate construction of the Early Childhood Center. Outside of the areas with existing structures, the site is open and grass covered. The ground surface is relatively flat and level. Overhead utilities exist at the west side of the property, adjacent to Austin Street. Evidence of buried utilities was also observed at the site. At the time of our field investigation the condition of the ground surface was firm and did not pose any significant difficulties to the drill crews moving their equipment. Owner coordination was required to access the site. As of October 11, 2024, the project is completed. Further details regarding construction and completion timelines were not disclosed.
