The Board of Aldermen were thanked for their support of the project, not only what’s happening with the building but also in terms of what’s going on with the dam. I am placing in the back cotton of a more sweeter variety than what was produced at Cotton Mill Square. It’s back there by the mailboxes if you would care for some. Chairman Wilshire I’d also like to say that I’m very pleased that this project is moving forward. I think it’s going to be a great asset here in the community.
