Construction is slated to begin soon for the International Dark Sky Discovery Center (IDSDC) in Fountain Hills, though no date has yet been announced for work to start.
The next-door neighbors, the L. Alan Cruikshank River of Time Museum and Exploration Center and the Library are already adjusting to the bustle of activity that will take place during construction.
The south parking lot of the Cutillo Civic Center is expected to be largely taken up by construction staging and will not be available to library and museum patrons. Visitors are being directed to use the north lot between the Community Center and Town Hall once the closure is in place.
