Jeff Siwiec, capital program coordinator with TMHA, would not say the warm weather has allowed them to get ahead of its projected completion schedule of Nov.30, but rather it has maintained on schedule. “This weather has been awesome for us,” Emerson said. Trumbull Metropolitan Housing Authority Director Donald Emerson said the unusually warm winter has enable it to push forward with its $10.6 million 60-unit senior citizen project without interruption. “We have projects in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin that are behind because these areas have greater than expected cold and snow.” “It is not like this everywhere,” Scharba said. Norwood Commercial Contractors, a Bensenville, Ill., company, has been building Family Dollar retail stores across the country.
“Due to the lack of snow and the warm weather, we already were able to pave and stripe the parking lot and finish the outside of the building,” Scharba said. The building was scheduled to be finished at the end of April. Michael Scharba, a construction manager with Norwood Commercial Contractors, said if they can maintain this pace, the project should be finished a month earlier than originally planned. However, because of this year’s warm temperatures, the new Family Dollar is about two weeks ahead of its planned construction schedule.
Last February’s temperatures averaged 13.7 degrees, making it the coldest February on record. It was not until February 2015 that the arctic cold and snowfall began to really kick in and bury the area. The so-far mild winter does not mean the remainder of the 2015-16 season will remain warmer than usual.
