The city of Glenville will be adorned with ten new wooden benches thanks to the combined efforts of Glenville State College, United Bank, and some students at the Calhoun-Gilmer Career Center.

The GSC Foundation staff wrote and received a grant for $600 from United Bank to cover the cost of material for the benches. Students in Roger Sweppenhiser’s construction class at the Calhoun-Gilmer Career Center designed and constructed the benches.

“GSC is very appreciative of our friends at United Bank for their support in our effort to revitalize downtown Glenville,” said Dr. Bob Baber, GSC Major Gifts Officer.

The benches will be placed at different locations around town for the convenience of local residents and visitors and to help beautify Glenville.
