Progress Made on Astoria’s Garden of Surging Waves

Work on Astoria’s Garden of Surging Waves is progressing.  City Manager Paul Benoit told the city council that the marble dragon columns are scheduled to be erected at the park before the Regatta Parade on Saturday. 

“About two weeks following, you’ll start seeing some real activity out there.  The artists are fabricating the mosaics, the wood beams are being fabricated.  We met with Josh, the project superintendent, this afternoon, and again, dragon columns by Friday, and then you’ll see a lot of activity within two to three weeks after.”

Benoit added that project designer Swuenn Ho was recently let go from Mulvanny G2, but relative to the Garden of Surging Waves, the project architect will continue to work with designer Swuenn Ho on the details.  Mulvanny G2 assured development director Brett Estes  the project will proceed with Swuenn Ho’s involvement, possibly as a contractor.
