All the doors were open as fresh paint was being applied to walls and old desks were being put into dumpsters as the Grand Forks Growth & Support Center got a refurbished interior Wednesday evening.

All the doors were open as fresh paint was being applied to walls and old desks were being put into dumpsters as the Grand Forks Growth & Support Center got a refurbished interior Wednesday evening.

The facility, formerly known as Agassiz Enterprises, drummed up volunteers including former employees to local football players to help clean out and paint the building. The recreational day program is for adults with disabilities and newly named director Julie Erickson said the place was ready for an update.
