Design group plans opening

Funnel Design Group will celebrate its grand opening at 17 NW 6 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday. The building was built in 1995 for Jackson Speedometer and was one of a handful of buildings built with recovery funding when the garage’s original home was destroyed by the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The garage was renovated into offices a few years ago.
