An area school district has broken ground on a new building that is being funded by a recently passed ballot issue.

According to a release from the Reeds Spring School District, ground was broken last week on its Primary School renovation and expansion.

The building will have a wing added and a courtyard enclosed to create room for more early childhood classrooms. The project is expected to be completed in August of 2023.

Funding for this project comes from the $40 million bond issue that voters approved in April that will help fund several projects for the district.
