Job Site Location
Construction is on going at the job site just north of the Natchitoches Country Club (golf course) on 3191. After passing the 504 cut-off, turn right on Wells Road. If you run into Hwy 1, you have gone too far.
The construction site is in the woods about 200 yards from 3191 on the left side of Wells Road behind two completed homes.
