Ramstein Commissary construction delayed

Construction on the Ramstein Commissary renovation has suffered a setback. The general contractor had to be terminated Aug. 10.

Actions are underway to bring on another contractor to finish the project as quickly as possible. Completion of the parking lot work is being given top priority.

Although there won’t be any visible progress for a few weeks while the new contractor is brought on board, the process is being expedited as much as possible and it is anticipated that the main portion of the parking lot will be completed prior to the upcoming holiday season. Once the main portion of the parking lot has been completed, the available parking will increase from the current count of around 190 parking spaces to 340 spaces.

The building addition work is expected to start back up shortly after the first of the year, with overall project completion targeted for spring 2013.
