Are you looking for a Local Host(ess) Gift This Holiday Season? Well, look no further than Tega Graze. Last year we did a feature on this wonderful business and we thought we should revive that blog and update it. The reason is the upcoming holiday season AND the fact that they are growing despite beginning this small business venture in the middle of a pandemic. Who does that? Well, two best friends do that and they are Chelsea and Lindsay.

They began with an idea and it has exploded. From having just 1 pick-up location in 1 small town they've grown to 3 pick-up locations in 3 different cities/towns. What a wonderful, wonderful result for them and opportunity for all of us! The Linda Hall Team supported them from the get-go because we know good business when we see it. Once Linda had bought the graze kits for her team members she knew she had to spread the word. Well, we're still spreading the word!

From our first blog about this amazing business -

We thought we would share information on what you need to know about the Carolinas Crossroads Project. The Linda Hall Team consists of people who are residents in the area, and this is a big project that concerns all of us. As you know, we are on the road a lot when showing homes, listing homes, and researching new developments. We have to keep up with the latest traffic information, and this project is definitely of interest. 

This is how Carolina Crossroads' website describes the project -

The Carolina Crossroads project is a $1.7 billion state infrastructure project that will provide a safer, more modern interchange design for the state's top interstate "pinch point," commonly known as "Malfunction Junction."

The goal of this project is to save the average commuter 112 hours each year via this upgrade. That certainly will be a welcomed change, but in that time, we will need to be aware of several factors of the project and the timeline of the project. Here's what we know so far -

Phases 1 is the Colonial Blvd work which the Secretary of Transportation signed in May 2021. The major construction is estimated to take three years to complete.

Phase 2 is the Broad River Road work, and that should begin in the Summer of 2022 with anticipated completion at the end of 2024. This phase is also estimated to take three years to complete.

Phase 3 is the System Interchange work and is expected to last 4 to 5 years.

Phase 4 is the Harbison Boulevard Interchange & Frontage Roads project, which will take three years to complete.

Phase 5 is the final phase, and that is the I-26 widening portion of the project and is expected to take 2 to 3 years to complete.

With construction comes delays and rerouting. Stay up to date on the traffic and detours by following their social media and with phone mapping apps.
