The V. M. Blanco 4-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, National Optical Astronomy Observatory, is undergoing a number of improvements prior to the delivery of the Dark Energy Camera. These include improved slewing and tracking performance resulting from a new telescope control system plus new encoders, and upgrades to the primary mirror support system and the environmental control system that have potential to improve both image quality and stability. I will describe the status of the upgrades.
