Construction delays
A condition of the permit was the completion of the facility s second phase by June 1, 2018. After negotiations, the state extended the completion deadline to March 31, 2020. and later to Sept. 30, 2020.
Facility management reported financial problems in the delay, the order said.
The order states that facility management later cited the COVID-19 crisis, prompting another round of negotiations for the second phase s completion deadline.
Alleged sewer backups
In January 2020, the state received a complaint alleging sewer backups at The Point.
An investigation allegedly showed that kitchen equipment at Tavern in the Square, a restaurant at The Point, was directly connected to the sewer line and not to grease traps as indicated in restaurant plans.
