Project description: Willard Public Schools is adding a second intermediate school to accommodate fifth- and sixth-grade students. District Communications Director Whitney Burrell said Willard’s current intermediate school, about 15 miles away, is at capacity. It will be renamed Willard Intermediate School-North. “We’ve had a lot of growth on the south side of the district,” Burrell said, adding the new school could have up to 400 students enrolled in fall 2019. Paragon Architecture LLC is the project architect.
Plaza Shopping Center gained an arcade with the March 1 opening of The Flying Lap LLC; the repurposing of space operated by Burrell Behavioral Health resulted in the March 18 opening of the company’s second autism center; and a group of downtown business owners teamed up to reopen J.O.B. Public House.
