The Brimstone Building

Good Morning all. Thank you all for being a part of the Brimstone Building Coming alive. It has been a long time since our last post. Work continued although we haven't posted.... We now have water in the building. Framing has been done for the Kids party Center. The next big project will be lighting. Tell me your thoughts? What other businesses would you like to see in the building? Let's get this building back to being the center of our beautiful town.

Recently we had a brand new door put on to the Green section of the Brimstone Building. Thank you J. Fox Glass in Connellsville.

We know that you miss our post about the Brimstone - we have been working diligently on cleaning out and obtaining permits and other things like water on the different floors and HVAC etc. We also lost a very valuable member of our family - thank you for keeping us in prayer during this challenging time. More exciting post like the one below is coming soon. Thank you Daniel Cocks.
