(KNZA)--Plans for the construction of a multi-purpose community center at Banner Creek Reservoir, west of Holton, move forward.
Banner Creek Reservoir Director Kurt Zibell and Jackson County Commissioners recently agreed to accept bids from general contractors for construction of the 42-by 60-foot building until 4:30 p.m on May 20. Contractors can submit their sealed bids to the Jackson County Clerk's Office.
The bids will be opened at the Jackson County Commission's May 23 meeting.
The Friends of Banner Creek Reservoir was awarded a $160,000 state grant last October to help build the facility. The organization raised a similar amount in matching funds.
The building is to include a kitchen, gathering area for 125-150 people, restrooms and a basement, which will be a designated storm shelter.
