The new football field surface at White County High School is near completion.
White County Assistant School Superintendent Scott Justus told the board of education Tuesday morning that work on installing artificial turf is running ahead of schedule. Justus said, “Thanks to Charles Black Construction and the people working for them” we are running about a week ahead of schedule.
Work began the first of March on this project and Justus said the goal is to get the majority of the work done by graduation time. He added that all signs point to that happening. The new artificial turf field is now about 85 percent complete.
After graduation, crews will work on items that need to be done at the track.
The project approved by the board of education is projected to cost $950,000 with funding through ESPLOST (Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax)
