The gymnasium at the FlightExec Centre in Dorchester is in the midst of being replaced after major water damage. Removal of the existing flooring should be completed on Wednesday December 10^th.

Meanwhile, the Municipality is working with their insurance provider to finalize replacement value and award the contract to install the new floor. Flooring options and bids have been received, so once this job is awarded we will be able to share the projected completion date.
