I am expecting it will be about 2-3 years before we are back up and operating. For further info visit the LMRGI’s web site at www.lmrg.org which is being updated as progress is being made. Contact is info@lmrgi.org. At the present time there is no phone number or mailing address.

New address is 4474 Blakie Road, Unit 127. It is in the BlueStone Properties Meadowbrooke campus. Possession is April 1st but we won't be done the move in until probably the end of April.
