The third phase of the Marion County R-II parking lot improvements will be moving forward, following action by the R-II Board of Education at last week’s meeting.

Bids are being accepted for the removal of the existing asphalt and replacing it with reinforced concrete.

Paint striping and sealer is also included in the bid specs.

The area to be done is back towards the ball field, according to Superintendent Jason Keilholz, who also noted bids will be accepted until Nov. 5

In other business, the board approved the purchase of an outdoor walk-in freezer at a cost of $11,000 to expand current freezer storage options.

Of that $11,000, $7,400 will come from money received through the Child Nutrition Emergency Operational Cost Reimbursement, Keilholz said.
