Exciting Renovation News from Our Community
There’s a wave of energy flowing through our town as renovation and restoration efforts kick into high gear! Community spirit is shining brightly, especially with the recent launch of a campaign to restore the stunning stained glass windows at the beloved Meadow Brook Hall. This historic venue needs your help after a serious act of vandalism left two precious stained glass windows in ruins. What a shame!
Meadow Brook Hall Needs Your Support!
Establishment of The 1929 Club is a fabulous initiative aimed at raising funds to repair these gorgeous windows. The damage incurred on February 4 was heartbreaking for many in the area. With repair costs estimated at a whopping $35,000, which is unfortunately more than the insurance deductible, the call for funds is on!
The Executive Director of Meadow Brook Hall has expressed deep sorrow over the loss, and it’s clear that community support is critical to bringing back the beauty of these historic structures. So how can you help? By contributing just $19.29 each month, you can join The 1929 Club and be a part of the solution to restore this national treasure!
Notably, even the city’s Mayor has stepped up to the plate as the first member of this club, showcasing pride for this historic venue. It’s not just about repairing windows; it’s about bringing our community together for a common cause!
A Hard Hit for Local Businesses
The theft, which occurred on January 16, included essential tools like a Bobcat skid steer and trailer, all caught on surveillance video. This duo relies on this equipment for their remodeling jobs, and losing it has sadly led to missed job opportunities and a tough situation for their business. The local police are currently investigating the incident and are urging anyone with tips to step forward. It’s a tough time for them, and our thoughts are with every small business facing challenges!
Traffic Updates
On the construction front, be mindful of ongoing roadwork as well. Traffic updates indicate that westbound I-696 will be closed for two nights as preparations get underway for a significant project that will begin on March 1. Get ready for major changes since part of the highway will be closed for a lengthy two years, so plan your routes accordingly to avoid delays!
Fortunately, despite the chilly weather, there are no major traffic problems plaguing the roads at this time. It’s always a good practice to stay connected to updates during road construction periods. With everyone working together on everything from restoration projects to roadwork, our community is looking ahead to some exciting developments!
Join the Movement!
Stay tuned for more updates on these projects and initiatives as our community works together to keep our history alive and our future thriving!
