SAUGATUCK — Renovations approved in a 2020 bond effort are set to begin soon for Saugatuck Public Schools.
Voters approved a 1.6 mill, $35.6 million bond proposal March 10, 2020, to provide renovations at Douglas Elementary School and Saugatuck Middle/High School.
The first project to get underway will be renovations at DES, which are scheduled to begin April 2, when the district begins spring break.
Bids for that project were approved by the SPS Board of Education during its Feb. 1 work session meeting for $7.2 million in construction costs.
There were 110 bids submitted for the project across the 27 different bid categories, board member Eric Birkholz said during the Feb. 1 meeting.
