A lot has happened since our last progress report on December 19th. Pierce's production was shut down from December 24 until January 2nd so their employees could enjoy a Christmas break, so there was no production report given through the holidays. The week of January 5th, the Engine was moved into a new production facility called the Chassis Facility, which is a brand new building that Pierce has recently moved into and begun production operations out of.

Given the current progress, Pierce has provided a tentative completion date of February 12th. Once delivered, the unit will go to have equipment mounted and personnel will complete training on the vehicle. If all goes according to plan and schedule, residents should start seeing it around the around mid-March.
