Thank you, Andy Engleman, President of NXS Construction, Inc. for leading the construction of a six-foot wide, concrete path at our building on Cypress Point Dr. in Missouri City. The building is leased to Texana Center who uses it as a Learning Center for adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. The acre in back is perfect for walking and visiting with friends - and affords a bit of exercise in the open   air.
The materials and labor for the construction of the path were partially financed with a $7500 grant The Arc received from the Fondren Foundation. Along with NXS Construction, Inc., these fine companies and individuals donated time and materials to complete the path: Ben & Joe Bono,
Durwood Greene Construction, Harris Construction, Speedy Grass, Sprint Landfill and Sprint Sand and Clay.
Job well done and appreciated by all!
