The area next to the current parking lot is prepared for a paved addition of approximately 36 parking spaces.

Projects Advance in July




At Greenwood Elementary, old univents are removed from classrooms to prepare for new vertical air conditioning units. After this summer, A/C will be in all GLPS classrooms. The new units will be quieter (better for studying), more energy efficient and provide a better distribution of air in classrooms.
Ceiling work at Delta Center, Greenwood, Holbrook and Neff includes installing chilled water lines for the A/C system and some duct work.
