Ramblin’ Jack Elliott is going to make another visit to the Martin Hotel in Winnemucca.

The Board of Trustees received an update at their Tuesday (Jan. 24) meeting on the capital improvements made during the last season and an outline of future needs. The money for the updates was made possible from an anticipated $8.5 million ten-year rollover bond approved by the voters in 2008. In 2009, the district began using the money for improvement projects. The update was provided by Kevin Monsey of Mike Mitchell Management, which is the consulting firm overseeing the capital improvement projects.
