The first phase of a four-million-dollar renovation at East Northumberland Secondary School in Brighton is underway.
A permit for this year’s 2.7-million-dollar share of the work was approved at the municipal office last month, almost half of the six-million dollars in construction activity getting the green light in July.
Kawartha-Pine Ridge School Board spokesperson Sonia Wilson says 80 per cent of the windows will be replaced to increase energy efficiency, one-thousand lockers will be repaired or replaced, the parking lot will be repaved, and there will be new hot water heating lines and units..
She says most of the work is being done this year, with the locker renovations expected to be mostly set aside until 2010.
