The view down Burgess Avenue from the Eureka College campus shows activity at Reagan Drive and Adams Road. Construction equipment and workers abound.
Long poles stick up out of the newly turned ground, forming an L-shape.
A building, which will house Heart House, Woodford County's shelter for the homeless and victims of domestic violence, is taking shape. Midwest Construction, Eureka, is forming the outside structure and roof. When the roof is completed, volunteers will pour the concrete floor before the construction company completes the building's outer shell. The building will be completed by as much volunteer help and donated materials as the boards for Heart House and its umbrella organization, Heartline, can muster, according to the Rev. Marvin Cheney, Heart House president. The groups hope to get the volunteers inside the building shortly after the July 4 holiday so the project can be completed by Aug. 1, when Heart House must vacate 611 S. Vennum, its current location.
