More work has been done to the house and it will have the interior paint work done this week and finishing touches to the walls. A new bathroom was added to the baasement and the new wiring has been inspected. New topsoil was added around the outside of the house to make the drainage flow away from the foundation. Lots of landscaping and general cleanup has improved the looks dramatically of the whole property. (June 2008)
A house has been designated in Tripp for a low income family to purchase. It is in the process of being upgraded by volunteers and will be ready soon. It is located on main street and is in a good location for a small family. Call Jennifer at the Tripp City Finance Office at 935-1410.

A center has been discussed to give the young and elderly people here in the Tripp area a place to relax and enjoy each others company and play games, watch TV and hopefully provide computer use. If received well through the community it should be able to remain open and maintained by it’s own operation.
