A spade cut into the ground in Monday afternoon, officially beginning construction on the Munson Community hall.
Years of hard work by the Munson and Area Community Association put them in the position to begin construction this summer. The planned hall has a price tag of about $1 million and is approximately 5,200 square feet. It includes seating for 250, a stage and a full commercial kitchen.
The hall has enjoyed tremendous support from community members. It was also the recipient of the UFA Get and Give Contest where it earned $50,00 for the project. Farm Credit Canada, as well as Starland County and the Village of Munson were also great contributors.
They have contracted Greene Construction of Drumheller to complete the project and are hoping to have a grand opening this coming spring.
