Follow the progress on construction of the new broadcast center for Valley Public Radio. Our new facility is designed to engage the community and provide a strong foundation for the station for decades to come.

Construction Update: Getting Ready For The Foundation

Over the past two weeks workers have hauled tons of fill dirt to the site to raise the grade several inches, in preparation for pouring the foundation's concrete slab. Workers today also began using a trenching machine to dig trenches for plumbing and utilities that will serve the new broadcast center. 

While the completion of  site grading helped further define the outline of the building, another development has made it even easier to visualize the walls that will soon go up. Workers have used chalk powder to outline the shape of the building's exterior walls. In the photos above you can see the overall outline of the building take shape. 

Joe Moore is the President and General Manager of KVPR / Valley Public Radio. He has led the station through major programming changes, the launch of KVPR Classical and the COVID-19 pandemic. Under his leadership the station was named California Non-Profit of the Year by Senator Melissa Hurtado (2019), and won a National Edward R. Murrow Award for investigative reporting (2022).
