Lake Park, Iowa — The Harris-Lake Park School Board awarded bids during a special session on Wednesday on the construction of a new bus barn. Superintendent Gary Richardson says they were pleased with how the bids came in.
Richardson says work will get underway soon with completion set for December 1st of this year.
The board also awarded a bid of $389,000 from K & W Electric for some upgrades in the auditorium. Work on that project will get underway once school out is for the summer, with completion scheduled for this coming August 1st. The projects were included as part of a bond issue voters approved for the construction of a new elementary school adjacent to the Middle School-High School. Richardson says crews are making good progress.
Voters approved an $18.6 million bond issue for the projects in November, 2023.
