News : West wall nearly finished; work on new LEC continues

The exterior of the west wall is nearly completes, as masons finish brick work there.

A farmer hauls grain wagons past the LEC site as windows of John's tire offer flood memories.

It won't be open until next summer, but from the west, the new Benton County Law Enforcement Center (LEC) looks pretty much as it will in August of 2011.

That's because masons have virtually finished the brick work on the west wall.

Other workers continue pouring concrete and laying brick for interior walls for the project that continues to take shape.
