Finally - Commencement Building Underway Again

Ruston mayor Bruce Hopkins announced at the council meeting Monday that building permits had just been issued for the Commencement building as the third set of owners take over the project. The next morning, trucks were busy delivering equipment and haven't slowed down since.

The owners have hired SUHRCO Residential Properties of Bellevue to market the new apartment units. Regional property manager Kathlyn Muller confirmed that Saco will be the general contractor. They hope to have their first unit completed by mid-June.

More details will follow as the project gears up. You can read the press release and background on the new owners and their plans here....
