LindenPointe is a "model partnership project" with both public and private investment combining to build the technical business park in Hermitage, said Assistant City Manager Gary M. Gulla.

Like just about every other construction project in Mercer County, work to build LindenPointe's infrastructure was delayed by the weather, but Gulla said the major work will be completed by Nov. 1, the hoped-for completion date.

"We're really pushing to get the site ready," he said. "Up until about a month ago, they were on schedule."

Rudzik Construction of Struthers, Ohio, has already installed water and sewer lines. Work has begun on the roads, but utility companies have not had a chance to install their services.

Still, Gulla said he expects only landscaping and construction of a walking trail will be left to do on Nov. 1.
