The job site is a busy place these days as work crews are busy doing site excavation and grading for the foundation of our new building. Work crews are in the process of digging up dirt under the site of the new building and then compacting the soil using a machine called a "sheep's foot" roller. This ensures that Valley Public Radio's new home has a strong foundation for the future.
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.
