Highfields getting much needed upgrades on main campus
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – Highfields, a nonprofit human services organization serving mid-Michigan families is currently seeing much-needed work done, in the form of renovations to three pieces of its main campus in Onondaga.
Highfields applied for and received a $465,000 infrastructure grant from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. That, plus $80,000 from the Dart Foundation is now paying for a new gym ceiling, upgrades to the water and well system, and renovation of the Jean Schultz center, which according to Highfields residential director Tyler Jones, is an important place for a child's progress.
'It provides a good place for the kids to get therapy, and speak with their probation officer, and their families,' says Jones. 'It'll also provide staff an opportunity to enjoy their work environment because we had bad wallpaper and outdated carpet, so it's really going to lift up the spirits of everyone.' Completion of all the projects should happen within the next few weeks.
