On Monday, April 5th, a large number of Mayflower Community residents tuned into a Zoom presentation hosted by the Mayflower Residents Association. The topic for this meeting was “Mayflower Infrastructure Upgrade Plans.’’ Presented by Executive Director, Steve Langerud, and Director of Facility Operations, Jack Morrison, the meeting was one in a series of four about Mayflower developments.
Steve and Jack announced a number of major facility upgrades in the works, including new roofs for the skywalk and the Beebe Assisted Living building, new resurfacing for the Beebe parking and pick-up Circle, and new chillers and boilers for the Health Center and Beebe buildings. The most exciting announcement was the complete sewer pipe interior coating to renew all the drain lines under the campus buildings.
In addition, Steve and Jack announced that the City of Grinnell is soon to begin a complete resurfacing of Park Street from 1st Avenue north to the railroad tracks. This will include a crosswalk for the area under the skywalk between the Health Center and the Beebe building, additional lighting and drainage, and new curb and gutter.
These are exciting renewal developments for this 30-acre campus that has anchored the south edge of downtown Grinnell for the last 71 years. This all means that The Mayflower Community will be here in extraordinary condition for years to come.
