Ground Breaking

Breaking ground for housing in Kenmare . . . Tom Serie, left, of SW Design Build, Inc., provided shiny gold shovels for groundbreaking ceremonies held for the two new 12-plex units to be built along Division Street in Kenmare. Serie was joined by, l-r, Kevin Borud of Gooseneck Implement, Mayor Roger Ness for the city of Kenmare, Jamie Livingston of State Bank & Trust of Kenmare, Tim Harris of Farden Construction, and Jerry Essler of the Kenmare Community Development Corporation.

After months of discussion and planning, the first shovelfuls of dirt were finally moved at the location of the two new 12-plex apartment buildings along Division Street in Kenmare as developer Tom Serie of SW Design Build in Minnesota met with local business leaders to officially break ground on the project.

 

In Progress

With one roof in place and the second roof scheduled for shingles, the two new 12-plexes along Division Street in Kenmare started taking shape.
