The dirt was flying Wednesday, September 14, 2011, as the Building Committee for the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church held an official groundbreaking ceremony for Phase 2 of their construction project at the Pastoral Center.
Actual work has been underway for several weeks. The foundation is complete, site utilities have been installed, and grading for the parking lot is finished. Soon to start is masonry, paving of the parking lot, structural steel, and mechanical and electrical rough-ins. Concrete floors will also start in the next couple of weeks.

On Friday, September 9, 2011, Downing employees were treated to a Customer Appreciation Lunch by our friends from Moehl Millwork. This is the third year in a row that Moehl visited our Downing office with their large custom grill, cooking hamburgers and pork tenderloins, and bringing all the fixings down to the cookies. We turned it into a tailgate party for the Iowa / Iowa State football game. It took three overtimes for Iowa State to prevail, but it took just two trips to the buffet for Chris to get full! Thank you, Moehl Millwork!
