This morning we held a ground breaking ceremony for Pave the Way. We're in our second phase now, but this was our first chance to do it. Above Fr. Dave meets Papillion Fire Chief Bill Bowes who oversaw the burning of three houses to make way for our project. Police Chief Scott A. Lyons was also on hand for the ceremony.
Sarpy County Chamber of Commerce President Karen Gibler briefed our parishioners Dick Van Haute and RME President Rick Egermier on the ceremony.
Troy Meyersick represented Lund Ross Construction which is handling this project. A significant portion of the street is widening the street. St. Columbkille is donating the land to widen it as well as paying for the construction. We think it will improve the traffic flow for the whole neighborhood.
We were also delighted to hear from Doug Dreesen, President of TD2, who grew up in Papillion and is delighted to contribute to the city's growth.
Fr. Dave was a little nervous about the actual groundbreaking saying that his hands "were made for chalices not calluses."
It was a great event. We thank the Sarpy County Chamber of Commerce for coordinating it all.
