Applause broke out after the final approval for the new consolidated Athens City Schools (ACS) building Monday night.
The ACS Board and Athens City Council met in a joint session to accept the bid for the new Pre-K through fifth grade structure which would consolidate Ingleside Elementary, North City Elementary, City Park Elementary and Westside Elementary onto one campus where City Park stands now.
During a work session last week, the ACS Board reached an informal consensus on Merit Constructionâs bid of $32.15 million to build the first phase of the school, which encompasses Pre-K through second grade.
However, Monday night, ACS Director Robert Greene announced that price had dropped just a bit due to the removal of some non-construction related costs.
