SYCC Kitchen Project update: We have talked with Scott Owens, and he has agreed to reinstall the gas line in the kitchen and check our current stove and convection oven. After this step is completed, Stout Food Service Company will install the range hood with a fire suppression system.  There will be a little demolition needed, but not much other than removing the old cabinets. The timeline for this project is fluid but will move fast once the contractor gives us a bid and we get on his schedule.
