The Depot is to undergo exterior renovation right after the first of the year. Our Board of Commissioners are moving forward to secure this beautiful, historic structure. This first phase is scheduled to be completed in the spring of the year. At that time the chamber should relocate their offices back to the depot. Phase II, interior renovation, will be a Future project, as funding is available.
