Work in Progress

Milder temperatures and vanishing snow have helped spawn a return to work this week on renovations and repairs to building facades in downtown Greencastle. Most notably, a construction crew Tuesday afternoon measures a section of the front of the building owned by Lester and Judy Wilson at the corner of Vine and Washington streets, a block east of the courthouse square. In addition to being slated for an upgrade as part of the facade portion of the Stellar Grant, the building was involved in the May 17 fire that damaged four downtown businesses. Affected by the blaze were Wilson's Photography, Wilson's Formal Wear and Buzz Bomb Graphics; the Pawn Store; the dental office of Dr. Perry Wainman and Greencastle Furniture.
