White Lake school planning for project
Seven days after a successful referendum vote, the White Lake board of education was planning for ground-breaking.
At its regular monthly session, the board heard a report from Doc Smith of EDS Builders, who guided the board through the preliminary planning for its new school/community recreation center and will now serve as the construction manager.
“We’re moving right along on it,” District Administrator Bill Fisher said.
Smith’s timetable calls for the project to be put out for bids on Feb. 13, with ground-breaking in mid-April. The building should be ready for use by students and the community by the middle of October, in advance of the 2012-13 basketball season.
The board will receive a financial timetable for the project at its Dec. 20 meeting and will ink the resolutions approving the bonding in January.
On Nov. 8, voters easily backed a proposal to spend $3 million to construct a central recreational center, similar to a commons, an exercise room that could be used as a community space, men’s and women’s locker rooms and restrooms, team locker rooms and an expansive new gymnasium. There will also be a concession area and remodeling to the existing shop and locker rooms.
