BREMEN — Bremen’s School Board held a project hearing at their meeting on Wednesday and approved the go-ahead on a renovation at the high school.
The 1028 Hearing was required to move forward with the project that is estimated by Baker-Tilly to be $6.6 million. The hearing gave the public the chance to voice their opinion on the renovation, and there was no public input. The project is designed to increase security at the school in addition to renovating space for the expansion of FACS (Family and Consumer Sciences) instruction.
The renovation will put the entrance at the front of the school building to allow more control of who is in the building and where they are at any given time. It will also include creating an office for the School Resource officer and allow expansion of the FACS area into the old school office to create a commercial kitchen for Culinary Science education.
The first mortgage on the construction will be paid over five years and will not change the tax levy for the corporation.
The Board gave their unanimous approval for moving ahead with the project.
