Site amenities are taking shape at the future McDowell Corporate Center on Water Tower Road in Longs, SC. The wall caps are complete, the pond is filling, and the irrigation pump has been adjusted. We’re installing uplighting and preparing to set the remaining wall caps. The lower section is now officially in the water, with just a little more sidewalk left to pour.
