(Le Mars) — The new artificial turf is down. Rock is being poured for the track, and the visitor’s bleachers are now assembled. Anyone traveling on 12th Street southwest recently, can easily see progress that is being made on the new stadium. Le Mars Community School District Superintendent, Dr. Steven Webner says contractors are keeping busy working overtime, to complete the project. Webner says August 19th is the projected date of completion.
Webner talks about some of the latest projects that have been completed, or near completion.
The school superintendent says no date has yet been set for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, or grand opening, as they want to wait for the completion of the stadium project.
Webner talks about some of the projects associated with the new stadium that are still needing to be completed.
Webner says the hope is for good weather to continue in order for the contractors to be able to finish the stadium in time of the first home football game scheduled for August 30th.
The cost for the new stadium is close to $5 million dollars.
