Excavation Set For Decatur School Office Site

Supt Curtis Sellers announced spongy red clay soil at the proposed Decatur School System administrative offices must be removed before construction. He estimates the project near 7000 dollars with a 10 foot excavation and notes caisson plans would add about 36000 dollars, delaying start by two months. An alternate site move is deemed unfeasible due to Civic Center work and relocation costs. Negotiations continue with architect Billy Aycock and exact soil removal costs are undetermined.
