Due to waterflow and structural issues, a portion of the parking lot retaining wall collapsed in the spring of 2021. The new retaining wall was finished in August of 2022. It was built with a permeable concrete wall behind the limestone. This will allow water to flow through without putting pressure on the retaining wall itself.
