Just heard rumors that Crane Land Surveying has been sold and will be going out of business. This is NOT true! I’ve been holding the following announcement until we got a little closer but here it is! CLS has been renting its space at Harper Creek Commerce Park for the last 20 years but soon we will moving down the road a little bit to a new building we have purchased. More details to come in the next few weeks!

Good start to Remonumentation Day so far. The round bar was locally known to be the corner but we were unable to find out who put it there and how.
