AUTHORITY OK’S ADDITIONAL FRANKFORT ELEMENTARY FUNDING

The West Virginia School Building Authority has approved supplemental funding for Frankfort Elementary School. When bids were approved for the project earlier this month, board members were told an additional $6 million was needed for construction. The Mineral County Board of Education originally requested $19.1 million for the project; a portion of the additional funding will cover a larger gymnasium, at an estimated cost of $850,000.
