The district said it will share traffic updates during the road’s construction.
The project is expected to be completed by August in time for the start of the new school year.
The project is part of a partnership between the city of Centerville and Centerville City Schools.
It includes the installation of a new traffic signal at Dimco and Clyo, construction of a multi-use path, stormwater system upgrades, and utility extensions, according to city officials.
Funding for the initiative totals nearly $1.4 million, primarily supported by Centerville’s 2024 Capital Improvement Program and other cost-sharing agreements. The state is also contributing $500,000 through One-Time Strategic Investment funds.
The school district’s estimated contribution is $384,121, payable after the project is completed—and only if the full award and contingency funds are utilized, city officials noted. The district’s share will reflect the actual project expenses and grant funding received.
Centerville said costs will go up from initial estimates, but officials there don’t have final numbers yet.
