Bulk Items/White Goods Pick Up

Town Hall Progress Update
Town Hall construction progress remains ahead of schedule despite what appeared to be a “slow” week. Next week big things will happen! Roof trusses were delivered this week and a crane will be brought in early next week to set the trusses. Framers will be busy with the trusses and roof sheathing for a few weeks.

Don’t forget to stop by and take a look at the sample board with material, stone and paint samples. It’s an exciting time.
