Football Season is Here, but Construction Woes Linger

As the Wolfpack football team prepares for its season opener in the newly expanded Carter-Finley Stadium, construction woes continue in the area surrounding the stadium.

Here are some of the specific problems that have plagued the project:

• Delays in obtaining permits
• Labor shortages

What's being done to address the problems?

The university has taken several steps to address the problems, including:

• Providing financial assistance to businesses that have been affected by the construction

What does the future hold?

The university is confident that the project will be completed on time and within budget. The new Carter-Finley Stadium will be a state-of-the-art facility that will provide a great experience for fans.

The construction may also provide a boost to the local economy. The project is expected to create 1,000 jobs and generate $100 million in economic activity.
