They reviewed both the Udall Public Library and Wellness Center project plans and a summary of plans for the walking path around the city park. Mr. Langer expressed enthusiasm on the Wellness Clinic and had been looking forward to a location such as this in our community. They are going to be in the process of distributing $400,000 received from a grant awarded by Blue Cross and Blue Shield toward projects promoting health and well-being.
