Lots of construction work is planned next week at Bluffton Hospital. Here's a report:
Last week we were able to get the first layer of wood on the canopy so that field measuring can now take place for the exterior finish material this week. The underside of the canopy saw great strides toward completion with the fire sprinkler and metal studding in the finishing stage.
Bluffton University football players and other athletes made 500 sandbags on Thursday afternoon at the EMS garage in anticipation of more rain this weekend.
