Bid Opening Is Delayed for Mt. Anthony School Project
The Mt Anthony Union School bid opening is moved to November 12 to give contractors more time to inspect specifications. The delay aims to ensure fair bids, though ground could still be broken in November with completion targeted for December 1966. Funding remains uncertain as state and federal aid amounts have not been finalized, prompting the board to withhold awarding a contract until aid details arrive.
