The City of Orlando, in coordination with URS Corporation, will host a Pre-Construction Public Open House for the Pres Barack Obama Parkway Extension project. The City Project Team and the Contractor, Hubbard Construction Company, will be available to discuss the project and the upcoming Phase One construction that is expected to start this summer.
