GRHC - 2008
The initial stages of construction for the new school at the corner of Grandville and Hall SW have advanced. More of the concrete block walls, with steel beams rising above them, have been completed. The view looks northwest across Grandville toward Hall Elementary School at the far left of the photo. A construction worker is again working at the corner on the right rerouting power and utilities, and the large crane continues to loom over the site.
