Upgrades to Carroll Cottage completed over the past year have included the installation of a sprinkler system and two wheelchair ramps 鈥� projects that together cost over $125,000. A budget shortfall of more than $36,000 remains for the two initiatives, and the non-profit organization is seeking donations.
