Lower construction costs help Prince William County (Va.) district

March 19, 2010
Savings on other projects will enable district to open a new elementary school one year earlier
From The Washington Post: A new school in the western end of Prince William County, Va., could pop up sooner than expected, thanks to a down economy that has helped the school system save millions of dollars in construction costs. Prince William schools officials said bids for T. Clay Wood Elementary School and a yet-to-be-named middle school in Gainesville came in about $21 million lower than budgeted. The savings will create room in the budget to push up by one year the opening of an additional much-needed elementary school in the Linton Hall area.
