Aug. 26. By TL Bernthal.  Birkdale Village owners say they are concentrating on completing construction in the common areas in time for reopening on the Tuesday after Labor Day weekend.

Those areas include the Concierge, Plaza, public restrooms and valet.

What about the holidays?

The owners are in the early planning stages for the holiday traditions and will work out locations for the tree, which previously had been on the now-removed splashpad, the Santa photo hut and talking bear exhibits once construction is finished.
