Completed projects since 2018 include: Ice plant replacement, Complete LED lighting retrofit, engineering and installation of a new fire alarm system, furnace replacement and addition of air conditioning in the hall, plumbing fixture replacement, emergency, and exit lighting upgrades, boiler repairs, rear overhead door replacement, sidewalk and parking lot renovations.
