Skyward in Ada

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, December 22, 2015

There's more to this photo than meets the eye. Just keep reading. The new $1 million medical facility is progressing rapidly. Groundbreaking was held just a little over a month ago. On Thursday, cranes were moving trusses in place for the St. Rita's facility. Warmer and dryer weather has permitted work to go forward at a rapid pace. The facility is located south of Vancrest Nursing Home and east of the school. Interested to know how high in the sky the crane rose? Click here to see. (Monty Siekerman photo)
