Lerma’s Groundbreaking and Press Conference

We are pleased to announce we’ve hired Davila Construction and that we are going to have the official ground breaking ceremony for the Lerma’s building on Monday, July 15, 2019 at 10am.

This Ceremony will take place in front of the Lerma’s building at 1602 N. Zarzamora St., starting at 10am with the press conference beginning at 10:30am.
