  • FACILITY COST
    The Center Grove Board of School Trustees approved a bid from J.M. Rowland Construction in the amount of $1,999,000 for the project. Funding for that bid will be obtained through a General Obligation bond. In August 2015, the Board approved a recommendation by CSO Architects to modify the project and exclude some items that could eliminated without compromising the integrity or original design of the project. These changes reduced the project cost by $99,175, which brought the cost down to $1,899,825.
