Construction continues Friday on the Burnham 310 building on Springfield Avenue in Champaign. Bad weather has forced a delay in the opening of the apartments. Developers have made arrangements for incoming residents, and a statement sets Oct. 31 as the goal for having everyone in their units.
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.
