Board approves $2.2 million renovation of Armore High School gym
Summary
After debate over repair versus new construction, the board accepted a $2.2 million bid from EMW to renovate the 71-year-old Armore High School gym into a multipurpose facility; one member opposed the award.
The Limestone County Board of Education voted to accept a $2.2 million bid from EMW Construction to renovate the aging Armore High School gym into a multipurpose facility.
Board discussion focused on whether to renovate the 71-year-old metal building or pursue a new facility. One board member said they had previously supported building a new structure and reiterated opposition to spending on the older gym now that the project is at bid acceptance stage: “I voted against it when we set it out to bid. I'm going to vote against it now that we're accepting a bid... I'd raised my hand for a new building, but not for a 71-year-old building,” the board member said. The board then voted; the motion to accept the EMW bid carried.
Board members did not record a roll-call tally by name in the discussion text; the motion carried following the vote.
