WEST POINT, Miss. (AP) — Work on West Point’s Louise Campbell Center for the Arts is nearly completed.

A local newspaper reports the $460,000 renovation of the former McClure Furniture building began in January. The center will be the first permanent home for the West Point/Clay County Arts Council.

West Point Water and Light Superintendent Dwight Prisock says the plan is to have the building ready for the Prairie Arts Festival on Aug. 30.

Prisock says crews replaced all the floors, built an elevator shaft, walls, ladies’ and men’s restrooms, a kitchen, offices and storage.

He says they also refinished some of the outside, in addition to painting and refurbishing the facade.

Prisock says the electrical work and painting is done and floors have been polished and stained.
