Dirtwork starts
Dirtwork has started for a new "Dollar General" store on Highway 34 at Trenton. On Point Construction Management will locate the new building south of the Soo-Paw Motel and west of the Trails West truck stop. Tonia Rone, the new manager of the Soo-Paw, said the motel's signature sign on the highway will stay, and the motel will continue, with its recent updates and a renovated lobby. Tonia said that she'll miss her front yard grass, and she plans to design and build furniture with some of the lumber from the cedar trees that were removed for construction. Tonia said the new Dollar General will be especially handy for the elderly in town, for those who can't travel to McCook often and for travelers.
