The Town of Hope Mills is keeping the public up to date on their upcoming Heritage Park Project. 

According to a project update released in late September, K & C Contractors, Inc. has submitted updated project schedule due to the excessive rain days, and project delays related to permitting. The project is now anticipated to be completed substantially complete on Oct. 24, 2024 .  During the past 30 days of construction, the Contractor has completed the installation of the bridge ramp/bridge over the flume, electrical controls, and ramp rails. The following milestones have also been completed:

  • Concrete ramps for the flume bridge, decking and railing. 
  • Seat walls, brick veneers and precast concrete caps.
  • Interpretive signage text has been approved and sent to the vendor for fabrication.

Currently the contractor is installing plant materials, and backfilling planting beds in preparation of plant installation.  Construction activities planned for the next 30 days include the following tasks:

  • Backfilling and fine grading in preparation for parking lot installation and landscaping.
  • Installation of flume maintenance ladders.
  • Safety chain link fence installation on top of the flume.
  • Installation of electrical raceways, wiring, panels and control pedestals.
  • Installation of plant materials, landscape mulch and bioretention drainage.
  • Concrete sidewalks, ADA parking and parking lot installation.

The Heritage Park Phase 1 Project consists of the historic preservation of the historic old mill flume, and the conversion of the flume to a stormwater control measure that will treat the new impervious surfaces constructed in the park. Other Park amenities include the construction of a new driveway, restroom, parking lot, event lawn, and the preservation and placement of the floodgates as shade canopies over benches. The project also includes an interpretive element that will explain the history of the Town, the mill, and how the flume has been repurposed to treat stormwater and protect Little Rock Creek.
