Slowly we go forward

Although construction has not yet begun, weekly meetings are being held with some of the contractors and some of the HRDF trustees attending. Pole positions have been marked for the power line relocation and these are being checked against construction plans. That relocation and re-platting of the property are delaying the start of construction but it is hoped that these requirements can soon be met.

HRDF has received several grants and gifts but about $1.25 million is still needed to complete the $4 million project debt free. Thanks to all who have contributed. Any suggestions about additional sources for funding should be forwarded to Joe Hightower, President.
