- Fairgrounds Building: A children's clothing vendor held a successful sale in the new building, reporting over 1,500 items and 5,800 views from a pre-move flyer. More than 50% of inventory was sold, making it the vendor's most successful event.
- 631 Building (Election Services): Access control system installation is ongoing, with work expected to finish in the next week. A new edge ladder was ordered to resolve loading dock issues. The first official voting cycle in the building proceeded smoothly with improved lighting and loading procedures.
