from TA weekly report of June 15, 2023 - Station – Royal Steam was in and finally replaced the compressor for the AC unit, a huge difference was almost instantly noticed. BWC went into service. Templeton Bldg. & Grounds assisted officers with redesigning the front lawn area.

Started 2015, now 2023 and still not complete, simply awesome.

  3. Your are correct that its out their, just didn't want to be "correcting your numbers".......

    So we have $1,500,000 and $975,000 and $300,000 which in my days Math adds up to $2,775,000. Almost 3 times the original estimate and its still not complete.
