The Norwood-Fontbonne Academy broke ground Sunday for its new Commons Building, part of a $12 million building project designed to “enhance the facilities we now have to match the programs and services we offer,” according to Sister Jean Laurich SSJ, the school’s principal. Construction of the building is set to begin later this spring.
Female drivers say a con artist posing as a mechanic flagged them down, insisting that there was a dangerous problem with their vehicles, and charged them money to fix it on the spot.
Community organizations and local council representatives were caught off-guard last month when word of a proposed homeless shelter on the New Covenant Campus was released in the media. The city’s Office of Emergency Shelter and Services and church officials insist that no final plans have been made on the shelter, though discussions have been taking place since December.
The Water Tower Recreation Center building has been in need of numerous repairs, as evident by the current projects of repairing the roof and painting the interior. It’s no secret that the 87-year-old building is in need of other repairs.
It will be months before drivers can use the Willow Grove Avenue bridge, according to streets department officials. They met last week to finalize plans to repair a deteriorated steel beam, said Department of Streets spokeswoman Keisha McCarty-Skelton on Monday.
