Spring may finally be here and I promise I will only wear a spring jacket, no matter how cold it is! I often imagine that when the sun shines and the air warms a bit, that school kids get kind of antsy. It could be that cloudy, cool days are a teacher’s friend (but not a coach’s friend.) There are only two weeks left at Public School.

April EDA update
The April EDA Board Meeting consisted of discussions on the following items. Bob Elston updated the Board on the status of the apartment building project with Alliance Building Corp. The purchase agreement and the development agreement have been signed. They have requested information on local contractors as they now begin to gather bids and get ready to start construction. We are hoping to see some building activity begin in about a month. This will be approximately a one-year building project depending on the weather, material supply availability, and contractor schedules.
