The Olympic torch relay started today in the city of Lawrence, a city in a reigon North of Dunstonville. The torch will pass South, and finally make it's way to Olympic Stadium for the lighting of the Olympic Flame.






The torch will enter the Dunstonville Metro Area on the 27th and be in Dunstonville on Dec. 1st.




Many projects have begun, and some have finished today. Lucas Stadium, in the city of Cambridge, just South of Dunstonville, has been finished.




Another project, which was cancelled, then put back on the drawing board a couple of weeks ago, is The new Marriot Waterfront Inn on Madison Grounds, just north of Olympic Park.




To ensure the security of the games, The Greater Dunstonville Area has given over 300,000 simoleans for the construction of police stations across the reigon at various olympic sites. The first Police station was built today, right across the street from the site of Olympic Stadium.



One of the main stations for the Olympic line, which will connect travelers from the northwestern area of the reigon to Olympic Park, was built today. Over 5 new stations are planned for the Olympic Park, 10 for the city of Dunstonville, and 12 for the reigon.



Plans were revised on Monday to accomodate a new soccer stadium in Olympic Park. The new Carnell center was completed today, and was the last project of the day.



The addition of the Simlympics has already caused commercial Demand to explode. A new commercial tower has begun construction and a new World Financial Center has been planned with the first building begining construction today. The complex is expected to be completed after the games.

Day 12

After many days of construction, Olympic Stadium is now complete. The last phase of the construction, installing the seats, was finished today.



The new Alberton Velodrome, was completed also.




Plans for new voleyball courts on the waterfront were canceled due to no suitable venues, but, due to a declining workforce, increased commercial demand, and an increasing population throught the city of Dunstonville, buisinesses have flocked to areas near Olympic Park, areas where residential unemployment is increasing.






The Riverland West area, just north of Olympic Park, is booming with commerce and construction, feeding a smarter, growing population.



Another revitalization project was started today in what was supposed to be the Olympic Park. Uptown Dunstonville, an area that hasn't seen the growth expected,even after the addition of the new Davis Arena, which will host Basketball during the games, has had a big push to urbanization after the construction of the new Hyatt Grandview, just off I-55 near Davis Arena. Much bigger projects are planned for this area also.



This Phase-oriented project, has no real completion date, but, the first major project is planned after the games.
