Command Construction Industries, LLC crews are laying more than seven inches of finished concrete as the contractors move towards the substantial completion of the revolutionary Hagan Lafitte Drainage Project.

The construction company is also working to level and sod Easton Park, which is home to a 1.3 million gallon underground water storage facility, in order to fully integrate the playground back into the community. 

The $7.1M Hagan-Lafitte project is a "gray-green" infrastructure project that will feature upsized drainage, urban bioswales and a huge water storage facility located underneath Easton Park.

The goals for the project, which is scheduled to be complete this winter weather permitting, include:

• Increasing drainage to reduce flooding;
• Utilizing green infrastructure to slow, retain, and absorb storm water;
• Beautifying with green areas;
• Replenishing groundwater; and
• Storing rainwater underground.
