Things are really cracking over a Grand View Memorial Park these days - namely the tree branches - as work crews busily cut and grind dead and dying timber.
The long-awaited clean-up of the unkempt grounds began in late December to the tune of a reported $105,400, funded by cemetery monies.
Additionally, an above-ground water system has been installed to thwart the dry conditions.
I stopped by Grand View this morning to take photos of the work in progress.
While I wasn't allowed on the property, I was able to capture some of the work being done by poking my camera through the front iron gates and over the brick walls.
See the entire album here on Flickr
.
A progress report on the improvements is expected to be presented at the next court status conference hearing on Feb. 6.
For further details, be sure to visit my website,
GrandViewMemorialPark.info
, where I've been logging all local media coverage of the story.
