The southeast corner of I-49 and 18 highways in Adrian

Smith's Automotive in Butler

There’s plenty of new construction around Bates County that will certainly help the local economy. A new convenience store is going up in Adrian at the intersection of 18 and 49 highways; a three bay addition at Smiths Automotive in Butler; and the ground is leveled at ready for concrete at Orange and Fort Scott streets in Butler in preparation for the new Dollar Tree.

Likewise, the new gymnasium at Miami is getting the final touches as well.

Not withstanding weather delays, it appears all projects could be complete by Springtime or so.
