HBR FFA alumni outline multi‑phase building project and fundraising needs
Summary
Representatives of the HBR FFA Alumni Association told the Hinckley‑Big Rock Building, Grounds & Transportation Committee that Phase 1 of an FFA building is complete ($136,625) and Phase 2 is estimated at about $300,000; the group seeks donations and volunteer labor to finish the project.
Aaron White and Nan Long of the HBR FFA Alumni Association updated the Hinckley‑Big Rock Community Unit School District #429 Building, Grounds & Transportation Committee on a multi‑phase effort to build an FFA facility at HBR High School. "Phase 1 has been completed at a total cost of $136,625," the pair told the committee, and they said framing and concrete work for Phase 2 are finished while plumbing and fixture estimates are still pending.
Phase 2 is projected to cost approximately $300,000, the presenters said, with much of the labor expected to come from local volunteers. Association representatives described delays caused by staff turnover and rising building‑material costs and asked the district and community for financial support; they proposed donor recognition through engraved sidewalk bricks or a sponsor plaque on the building. Committee members discussed the appropriate timing for district involvement in design features and noted that the facility's opening date will depend on available funding.
