At the Washington City Council Meeting Tuesday, the council approved the major site plan for the Washington Community School District. The changes include widening the circle drive in front of the school, adding a new two-story wing, a new gymnasium on the southeast corner, and adding and renovating many classrooms. The project is scheduled over two phases, with the timeline taking one and a half to two years. “The chair of P and Z sent me an email, Darren Delong, letting me know that they’ve had a significant discussion about this project and recommend we pass the site plan. The hanging concern would be the change in traffic patterns.”  There was only one provision to the motion, and that was for a traffic analysis to be conducted to weigh the impact that the construction may have on the surrounding area. KCII will bring you more information as it becomes official.
