remodel

TOOL—During the regular Tool City Council meeting held July 17, the council discussed allocating funds from the park construction account towards the remodel of the Tool Police Department. Currently the funds in the park construction account are just over $36,000. Council Member Vera Bennett stated there are still some things to be done at the Eight at Tool Park such as installing a French drain by the butterfly garden and enlarging or offering more parking for larger events.

The yellowed floors have been sanded and refinished to a lighter hue, modernizing and brightening the gym for this season’s home games.
