| Major Construction Projects Underway At
Both Schools |
Major construction projects are well underway at both of
Norton City Schools' two buildings. After a increase of almost
100% in the cost estimate, the School Board decided to undertake
major structural enhancements to the football stadium instead of a
complete replacement. The project was completed for the
Raiders first home football game on August 22nd. Ground was
broken on May 20th for the first phase in the long-awaited
renovation project at Norton Elementary, the construction of a new
gymnasium. The NES project, which is expected to cost
$7.3 million, is the single most expensive project in the City of
Norton's history. The project includes in addition to a new
gym, a new administrative section, and upgrading of all mechanical,
electrical and plumbing systems. The project is expected to be
completed in two years. |
