The structure is ready for the roof to be constructed. Cemetery building under construction A new building to house Pleasant Grove Cemetery equipment is now under construction in the northwest part of the cemetery. Public Works Director Frank Mills reported that the structure was originally planned in the early 1970's when the wellhouse was built. The project was delayed for lack of funds until now. He said that they were able to come up with enough financing now to do it and hope to have the walls up and the roof on this year. The cost to do this will be about $12,000. The building is 30 feet wide and 70 feet long. It will have three bays for storage and working on the cemetery equipment. When the building is completed it will include the sex ton's office and two restrooms. The big advantage of completing the building now is getting all that big equipment out of the weather and inside. Mr. Mills said that it will give Parker Cullimore, the sexton, a better place to keep his records, as well. The rest of the building will be finished as money is placed in the fiscal budgets to cover it. Work bgan in mid-August with the footings being poured, Mr. Mills noted. It is being constructed on cinder block. The block work began about Sept. 1. The roof is expected to be in place by mid-October. The building was erected in this location so that it is near the new cemetery addition across 100 West as well as the present cemetery. |
