The extension is to be an outdoor lobby area, complete with green grass and a more protected entrance, said Jackie Barger, executive director of the Children’s Smile Center. The work is being done by Snyder Construction Group, who also took their turn with the ceremonial shovels.
This extension will realize a vision for what the location was always meant to be said Barger.
“When we bought this, we had a gravel lot and we said, ‘oh man, one day we want this to be a lot better,’” he said. “It’ll be a big improvement for the community. Kids and families are going to be more proud of what they see. They’re already proud of the work that we do, but we want the outside to match the quality of the work that we do.”
