The move went great and all residents were at the new building by 11:40 a.m. Have gotten some phone calls regarding lights being on at the old building. Kim explained that it is a safety issue. Most lights are off but emergency lighting needs to be on. We still have some items there and will be arranging for an auction at some point so still need elevators etc. Bill will look into turning more lights off.
