Planning Continues for Major Glenwood School Project

Glenwood school officials have enlisted help in planning for a major building project.

Recently, Glenwood's School Board selected the D-L-R firm of Omaha to develop architectural designs for the proposed construction of a new high school facility and renovation of the current high school into a middle school building.

Glenwood School Superintendent Doctor Stan Sibley told KMA News that the board liked what they saw in the firm's conceptual designs. In addition, Sibley says the firm's proposal was affordable. Sibley says D-L-R's project estimate came in under the 17-million-dollar threshold the board anticipated. Sibley says the actual total cost has yet to be determined.

In addition, Sibley says the firm will assist the district in determining which of four proposed sites would be adequate for the new high school's location. In the meantime, school officials continue to discuss the proposal with patrons. Sibley says a forum held late last month on the building project was well-attended, and Sibley says solid support was indicated for the district's proposal. Sibley says another forum will be held in September.
