So thankful for Friday, February 17, is the Grace Family of Vienna as ground broke for a new home through the efforts of the Crisp Area Habitat For Humanity Sheriff Van Peavy Memorial Build.

The home, to be located at 406 Meadow Drive in Vienna, will feature fresh comforts and handicapped features that will aid Bill and Laura Grace in the continued caring of their son, Nick.

Bill Grace, who is overwhelmed by the generosity of Habitat, said, “We are so honored and grateful for receiving this home.”
