The foundation is being laid for the new gymnasium at Heyworth schools.

As the summer gets ready to turn to fall, the district battled wet soil early on in the construction process but Superintendent Lisa Taylor says things have been approved and now the foundation is being laid. 

The $8-million will also include the unit office moving to the addition. Taylor says they are adding parking to their elementary parking lot. She notes there is a lot of other maintenance items being taken care of.

The addition is expected to be completed next winter with a ribbon-cutting in the fall. Taylor says most of the rest of the work is going to be completed throughout the winter.
