Construction could begin on the new Lincoln Junior High School as soon this spring. The project has been in the planning stages for several years. The new facility will be built directly east of the current school building and scheduled to be completed by 2020.

Anderson said, “On April 10, we received bids for the new Lincoln Junior High. A total of 47 bids were received for 13 bid categories.” Skillman Corporation representatives conducted a pre-award conference and reviewed the contractor’s qualifications.
