BY CHRIS LAWS All is progressing well with the renovation project of the Huron County Pioneer Museum at the June 4 county council meeting was told. The project’s phase one could be finished in January, if the county decides to complete the remaining demolition work on the building by themselves, insteadof having a contractor do it. While the savings would only be a few thousand dollars, on the reconstruction, the county would have all the rights to material which are salvageable, and the building would be finished three months ahead of schedule. Currently, the concrete blocks are on sight, and pouring of the foundation walls continues at a steady pace.
