A garage destroyed in the December 2018 Taylorville tornado has been restored thanks to the efforts of Lincoln Land Community College carpentry students this summer.

LLCC partnered with Missions for Taylorville on the project.

“It’s a great partnership and learning experience for the students,” said Dee Krueger, director of LLCC-Taylorville. “The partnership allows students to gain real-world experience while contributing to their community.”
