Bill Suter, board member, provided the Icon with this story.
The old Peerless Glove factory transformation into the new Et Cetera Shop is well under way. 

The project is about half done and on schedule for a mid-August completion.  Most rehabilitation of the building is done.  Machinery has been removed. floors have been reinforced, pipes replaced, and antiquated restrooms torn out.  The “tear-out” and structural rehabilitation phase is largely done, with few surprises.
