Spring is usually the time we think about sprucing things up around our homes and the Mt. Hood Town Hall is no exception.
The latest renovations to the century-old building includes new carpet being installed, some new storage re-organization and needed kitchen renovations.
“All these projects are made possible by the community’s generous donations!” said Town Hall Manager Nikki Stansel. “The community is invited to come visit the Town Hall and join us for our Annual Community Meeting board meeting to enjoy some dinner, socializing and tour the property.”
The annual Community Meeting will be held on May 12 at 6 p.m. at the Mt. Hood Town Hall and residents are invited to see how they can get more involved in the ongoing projects at that time.
