Team effort
The Knox County Career Center Residential Construction class is working on a gazebo on the city’s minipark on Coshocton Avenue between Park and Division streets. The project is for the Shade Tree Commission and is the first of seven they will build, one each year, in other parks. The gazebo will be 8-by-16 feet in size built with treated lumber, composite deck and shingled roof. There will be seats on two sides. They expect to complete this gazebo this fall. The 20 senior students are instructed by Keith Chester. (Virgil Shipley)
