move in at Legacy Landing of which 3 are former Ridley residents.
Ms Shaw also reported that infrastructure is 96% complete with the remaining being
completed in the CNI IV-R phase. The Wellness Trail is 71% complete and the
Seafood Market鈥檚 construction drawings are 95% complete with ground breaking
slated to begin in the summer of 2025. Half of the Lift and Rise retail site is 100%
complete and marketing and permitting has begun.
