Community celebrates at new Talbert House Mt. Orab office
Turner Construction Company employees provide expertise to transform facility
MT. ORAB—The community came out to support the grand opening of the new Talbert House Mt. Orab office on September 23. The renovation of the facility, located at 116 N. High Street, was made possible by Turner Construction Company and its subcontractors. The new office will open for business October 5.
Talbert House serves 2,600 clients in Brown County through its locations in Mt. Orab and Georgetown and the new office will allow the agency to expand services in the western part of the county. The agency’s Brown County Recovery Services offers a broad range of substance abuse services and mental health assessment, treatment, and prevention services to the children, adolescents, adults and families of Brown County and surrounding areas.
The renovation began as a community outreach project started by 20 members of Leadership Turner, a leadership development program of Turner Construction Company. As part of the program, employees choose a community service project and lead all aspects involved in completing the project, including fundraising, project execution and volunteer initiatives.
Through the efforts of Leadership Turner, the 2,400 square-foot building was transformed into several office spaces, group rooms and a waiting area with adequate parking space.
