Around town, improvement projects are continuing at various locations. This week work was underway at Central School where a new circle driveway is being constructed for drop-off and pick-up of students. The driveway will offer a safer experience for children and will help to eliminate some of the congestion on the streets around the school. The job was awarded to local contractor Steve Goodman at Goodman Contracting. Goodman commented Tuesday that District 27 Superintendent Kent Froebe and the school board was good about awarding jobs to local contractors for work needed at the various schools.
