New streetlights were installed and trees were planted around town. The road was down to dirt for months. If it wasn't for our regular customers who came down, we wouldn't have made it. It's a big, huge upgrade, and I'm very pleased with it. I saw what the mothers and fathers of the community wanted, and I agreed with it.
People are very pleased with the results.
Closer to the heart of campus, a garden was planted in the grassy area outside of the MUB's main entrance. Two feet of sand-fill were removed last fall and replaced with native topsoil. Last December, the Johnson Theatre's stage rigging system was declared unsafe by a stage-rigging expert, Dr. Randall Davidson from Risk International and Associates in California. The temporary repairs were finished just in time for the presidential primary debates held in Johnson Theatre on Jan. 5 and 6. They were done so that the full performance season scheduled in the theatre this spring could continue.
