Has anyone heard an update on the Chimes being built in Lafayette? For several months the construction was quickly coming along. Now it seems as though it has grinded to a halt. I drive by regularly and there has not been any progress or even any sign of workers on site. Very strange. Wondering if they hit some kind of snag with permitting, etc.

the interior structure/framing and exterior construction (bricks) have obviously been completed. Appears electrical wiring has also been done as I see lights on at night. Construction laborers may have floated the sheetrock and painted walls. As suggested above, probably a delay in getting certain industrial grade appliances, lighting fixtures, and special ordered items due to product manufacturing delays. I thought their goal was to open around June 1

The June-ish opening target was my understanding as well. I just find it odd that there is never any construction labor there anymore.

The outside is not finished (painting, etc.). I would figure that could still continue even if they are having trouble with other supplies.

This is correct. Mechanical/HVAC supply chain issues are the reason.
