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. | |
