Coming soon: Blackhawk Commons

1954 Sheridan graduate Fred Sturdevant was on hand Friday to take a tour of the still under construction Blackhawk Commons. The project involves turning his alma mater into affordable apartments. Sturdevant, a loyal reader of The Reporter, was happy to pose in his tour-approved hard hat for our camera. Thanks, Fred. Nobody covers your town like us! (Reporter photo by Stu Clampitt)

The former Adams Township School, 509 E. 4th St., Sheridan, is being turned into affordable apartments. The $7.2 million Blackhawk Commons project is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. Thanks to HAND Incorporated, invitation-only hard hat tours were provided Friday afternoon.
