We use the summer time to make different facilities upgrades too. This summer we have a few projects, including the following projects:

  • Updates to Mayflower Market: adding a window to bring more light into the c-store, new flooring and rearranging equipment for easier traffic flow.
  • New countertops and shelving at Food For Thought Cafe, in the Main Library.
  • Cosmetic changes to the Black's Gold Grill space to prepare for our new national brand.
