The hearing drew many residents who argued both for and against the proposed terminal. Old Dominion submitted plans last fall but withdrew them without prejudice and submitted new plans this spring. Tim Coon, a professional engineer for J.R. Russo & Associates LLC presented the new plan for the terminal. Coon said that the facility would encompass a 14.6 acre area and the building itself would be around 33,000 square-feet. It would include 22 tractor Class of ‘53 spaces and 129 trailer spaces as well as nearly 70 parking spaces for Members of the St. Mary’s High School Class of 1953 gather at The Tavern Restaurant June 20.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You could be in the position of trying another approach or doing something very different. A child or loved one might B.C. Mastroianni and Hart try to get your attention.

Tonight: You might have a reason for ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe celebration. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Pressure builds, at least in your mind.
