Dexter, Missouri – The new Park and Recreation office is now open for business and will host an Open House on Friday, June 21st.
The beautifully designed and decorated building was built under budget and took only eight months of construction. Employees will have their own working area or office.
The large conference room will seat about 30 people and this will help with the many meetings they have scheduled specifically for coaches and staff.
“We are very happy with how the building looks,” according to Park Director Lawson Metcalf. “Once the outside concrete is complete, I expect to be right on target with the proposed cost of $160,000.”
The new building is located at 500 Fairgrounds Drive and is open from 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with a lunch break at noon.
A special ribbon cutting is scheduled at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, June 21st with a reception and Open House until 2:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
