Carpenter told the council the piece of land the senior citizens are interested in for their center is situated directly behind the Park Ave. Fire Station. According to the - groups represen-tative,"We represen-tative,"We would put the building on the west side of the strip behind the dirt road that comes down from Norfork Ave." "The building would be put as close as possible to the hill with still allowing room for the snow,'' Carpenter added. ' Why This Piece of Ground? "We desire this piece of ground to the west because we feel it would be less subject to vandalism. There are more homes to the west and people will be able to keep a constant look out," Carpenter pointed out to the council. , Citing , "another advantage" ad-vantage" of this location the senior citizen representative said, "the dirt road in front of us could be turned into a parking lot that could also be used for the fire department meetings." Moving the Building "We've been working with a Mr. Greenwall from the county about moving our building but right now it is just in the planning stages," Carpenter, said. "We are still waiting from Cheyenne and Omaha for the final word from the railroad," he added.
