Mary Alice Reporting – A revamp project at the Village of Dennison municipal building is getting some funding help at the state level.
The community room was built, in 1921, on the top floor of the building and fell into disrepair in the 1990s, being used for storage until donations from the community came in for restoration.
This generous funding has fixed the wall and ceiling and installed new LED lights, while also upgrading the electrical and emergency lighting and panic doors. The walls have also been painted and the original floors are restored, with a total investment of $37,000.
The administration has announced the security of $95,000 for the auditorium to make it handicap accessible, thanks to the support of Representative Brett Hillyer and Senator Jay Hottinger.
These dollars will build a ramp on the outside of the building that will lead to chair lifts, giving access to the community auditorium.
