The MAXAM Building is a little community in itself and today this community came together as it does annually to power wash away the winter, trim the trees, and pull the weeds before adding some fresh 💯 virgin cedar to the landscaping! So grateful to all of those who helped from the residential side of the building - MAXAM Quarters! A special thank you to Barb and Carl McRoy for maintaining our adopted planter boxes on Washington Street by adding some new bushes and floral!!
