If you have driven down Main Street over the past few months, the vertical construction of the new Sullivan High School probably has you thinking about the educational opportunities that await our students. Construction at Sullivan High School continues to progress on-schedule and on-budget.

First floor classroom interior framing and rough in has started, and masons are currently working on gymnasium shell enclosure and locker rooms spaces. This gym will support both physical education classes and the school’s athletic programs. It will include a second floor walking track, as well as a weight room that will double as a storm shelter in the event of severe weather. Read More

Next to the legion building at the Wyman Park there has been come construction started where the city is building a splash pad within the park. Splash pads are great ways for people of all ages and all accessibility to access the water and cool off in the summer heat.  Over June 12th-14th there was more activity from the construction site, getting more of the project done day by day. The difference from the previous weekend with the Dash and Bash was unrecognizable from where it stood within the active construction days. The most recent development for the project was the water and proper sewage components being installed and covered back over so the already laid system couldn’t be damaged by outside sources.
