On Monday, the house at the corner of 2nd Street and 1st Avenue was demolished. Work will be begin soon on a new Habitat for Humanity house.
Work at the Habitat for Humanity house, at 200 1st Avenue in New Glarus, is getting started. Recently volunteers converged on the site to clear the property of overgrowth and debris. While the cleanup was expected to take all day, the workers finished it before noon.
