Boles said he expects all work between the intersection of Green Valley Road and the Leaf and Petal development to be done within the next month, with the entire project for Vestavia Hills expected to be complete within the next two months. 

Wald Park Phase 3 hasn’t seen any action, but is well underway, Boles said. He said they are currently working on site mobilization and timeframes for development.
