Sweetwater Events Complex maintenance crew removes lights and other material from the ceiling of the Exhibit Hall in preparation for new paint.  

Contractors work to reclaim one of the parking lots on the north-west side of the Exhibit Hall.  

Sweetwater Events Complex maintenance crew compresses the area to the north of the Exhibit Hall.  
The area will be asphalted to correct existing drainage issues.   

A new water line is ran to the horse shoe pit area of the Sweetwater Events Complex.  
The new water line will allow the area to be irrigated with fresh water which should improve the landscaping.     

A trench for the Indoor Arena drainage line is dug.  

A drainage line is installed along the east side of the Indoor Arena.  
The line will remove the water as it drains from the Indoor Arena roof.

Once the line has been installed, the ground is leveled and prepared for new asphalt

The area, though shrouded by snow, is now paved and the draining pipes are evident along the building.  
The gutter system will be installed to direct runoff from the roof through the drainage tubes and away from the building.  

Asphalt is laid along the north side of the Exhibit Hall, near the Horse Shoe Pit area.
