Old Compass building converted to high‑school extension; walkway planned
Summary
On-air reporting said Compass Enterprises and a partner are converting the old Compass building into a high‑school extension for students needing extra support and building a pedestrian bridge connecting to the high school.
Host (S1) reported that the former Compass building (referred to on-air as the "old Compass Building") is being renovated as an extension of the local high school to serve students who need additional support. The host described the interior as "totally gutted" and said crews had removed finishes to prepare the space for classrooms and special‑education supports.
On-air, the host attributed site‑development responsibilities to Compass Enterprises (which the host said acquired a local contractor in 2022) and a yet‑to‑be‑named partner. The host also said a contractor identified on-air as TVD (telecom/utility development) had begun excavations to build a bridge or walkway connecting the renovated building directly to the high school; tree removal along the line was noted to accommodate that connection. Valley Electric was named as the subcontractor for interior electrical work and HVAC systems were noted as part of interior scope.
The host did not provide contract values, permit statuses, or school‑board approvals on-air, and did not quote school district officials. The on‑air account focused on visible site activity and equipment (excavators, skid steers) and on the planned physical connection to the high school.
What happens next: the host indicated continued on‑site work and said additional photos would appear on future broadcasts when available. No formal municipal approvals or timelines were cited during the episode.
