MLB is excited to announce it is renovating its office located at the Orleans-Brewster Office Park.  The makeover includes re-configuring some of the interior space, painting, new carpets, new furnishings, new window blinds, new artwork and more.  When complete MLB will have a beautiful, 3000 square foot, state of the art accounting office.

Completion is expected for the fall of 2008.
