After the ceremonial groundbreaking on April 14, 2015, official construction on the new Gregg Museum started June 1. Bulldozers, concrete trucks, and other heavy machinery made their way onto the site at 1903 Hillsborough Street and after sixth months, much of the site demolition has been completed. Though rain and site conditions have delayed the project a little, the foundation of the new addition is close to completion. Drainage systems and waterproofing of the existing home are currently going in and we hope to see the steel supports erected on the new addition soon.
