(KLZA)--The Mound City Board of Education approved approximately $675-thousand in improvements at the Track and Field Complex when they met Monday.
The work will include expanding the track from six to eight lanes with the original lanes being resurfaced. The Fisher Track Company was awarded the bid for the work which will cost $468-thousand.
The work will include some excavation work in front of the stands to make room for the additional two lanes and construction of 210 feet of retaining wall that will be eight feet tall.
The other part of the project is new LED lighting at the complex. Techline Sports Lighting was awarded the $207-thousand bid for the new lights.
Both projects will be done this summer.
