"Topping Out" Celebration!!
We’re one step closer to completion of the new Atlee and welcoming nearly 100 new residents to FVK! On August 28th, residents and staff came together to celebrate this exciting milestone with delicious donuts, coffee, and plenty of smiles. As part of the celebration, residents and staff had the special opportunity to sign a structural beam that will become part of the new building, a lasting reminder of the people who make our community so special.
A special thank you to the EV Construction and LCS Development teams, along with all of their subcontractors, for all their hard work, dedication, and craftsmanship in bringing this exciting project to life. We appreciate everything you’re doing to make the new Atlee building a reality!
We are excited to watch both the Atlee and Markillie Care Center continue to take shape! ...
