Industrial Park Site

The Lacon City Council voted to restrict the use of property in the industrial park for industrial purposes only.  Business owners  within the Industrial Park expressed apprehension about locating a school in that area due to safety concerns to children.  Their concerns were valid.  I also informed the city council and business members in attendance that the district is not interested in locating in an area that we are not welcome.  This narrows are options considerably.  We now have the following options:

1.       Build a school across the street from the current location.
2.       Launch a site acquisition project.
3.       Repair the current building.
4.       Construct an addition to an existing facility.
5.       Do nothing.

The board will probably discuss this on the 15th and determine what scope of services they would like Farnsworth to complete.  I would encourage all to attend the meeting on the 15th
