Train Station update

Deana Simkin – Train Station is considered an assembly building – to do any type of reconstruction, an architect must be part of the team. Quote was $20,000. Not enough money has been saved over the last 4 years and considering the cost of construction, we have a shortage. It’s been a long going project. The committee met with the Board to recommend that we no longer focus our efforts and the Train Station. Our efforts have made a difference for the Heritage Society, ICF, as the roof has saved the building. Big thanks to Rod Hunter and Art Meyers.

We now have $40,000 for community projects.
