EveiV one’s hungry and ready to work.” Architect John Fuller presented the council with a design at the end of last year that depicts a two-story facility with plenty of room to grow for future gen erations. “We’ve got a good con tractor and a good ar chitect,” council mem ber Zane Hedge- cock said. “The county has done a good job help ing us.
