Work on enlarging the Buffalo Motel moved forward Monday as seven Winnebago built modular units were hoisted onto a cement block foundation extending east from the current 9 unit inn. A crane crew from Nonmweiler Reichardt Garner and local helpers placed the units, with four already on site and three arriving as wide loads. All units are pre wired for electricity and nearly finished, with three units having ceramic tile bathrooms. Owner George Jennveld plans an open house when ready as he expects 16 units total to better serve highway travelers and workers. The Buffalo Center area sees revived tourist traffic since Highway 9 reopened.
