JPS board awards demolition contract for two elementary school buildings
Summary
The board awarded RFP 20269-26 to Faircloth Demolition to remove Baker French and Woodville Heights elementary school buildings; administration estimated a 30-day permitting lead and 60'120 days for demolition and committed to advance community notifications.
The Jackson Public School District board voted to award RFP 20269-26 to Faircloth Demolition for the complete demolition of Baker French and Woodville Heights elementary school buildings.
Administration told the board the pre-construction and permitting phase will require approximately a 30-day lead time; the physical demolition work is estimated to take between 60 and 120 days. Staff said they will work with the office of public engagement to issue formal community notices to neighborhoods immediately surrounding each site and provide multiple opportunities for residents to learn the schedule before demolition begins.
Board members emphasized the need for repeated outreach to nearby residents so neighbors are not surprised when demolition work begins. No community objections were reported to the board during this meeting; the district said the plan includes creating an attractive green space on the cleared sites.
The board approved the award with no nays recorded.
