Construction Progress

The Oakdale Public Works facility is nearing completion. The modified schedule now has an expected move in date of March 2026 with a tentative grand opening event slated for late spring. More information will be provided when details are finalized.

The office area’s sheetrock has been installed and painting is underway. Locker room bathroom tile has been placed with installation of fixtures expected next month. The office areas will be the first section of the building fully completed.

The fleet storage area is nearing completion with lighting and heating systems now being installed. This is the largest space in the facility as it will safely store the Public Works vehicles.

The mechanics and operational areas have all interior walls completed. Installation of critical items to maintain the fleet like vehicle lifts, cranes, and lube equipment are next for completion.

Site work progress includes completion of the salt storage shed, fuel island, perimeter fencing, and the first layer of pavement. Final site work, including landscaping will be done in the spring as soon as weather permits.
