Mother Nature delays opening of apartments

CHAMPAIGN – The anticipated mid-August opening of the more than $40-million Burnham 310 project is now on hold – perhaps until late October.

"We've been working so hard toward an August opening, but Mother Nature just didn't cooperate this year. All the snow and then the extremely heavy rains really kept construction slowed for a good part of the construction season," Property Manager Theresa Kamerer said in a release issued Friday.
