Stillwell project wins approval for renovation and new construction
The Craven chaired School Board and the Craven County Board of Commissioners resolved a three year dispute by approving a 60 million dollar renovation plus new construction plan for Havelock High School Stillwell building and Dietz Field upgrades to be completed by 2023 24. The plan blends renovation with new construction and replaces an auditorium gymnasium and cafeteria during the phased work. Commissioners emphasized safety and cost as key factors while expressing cautious support and questions about courtyard design and construction logistics. The final $59 million figure covers turf upgrades and a new track.
