The Pella School Board has approved a contract to begin construction on a new facility for Lincoln Elementary.

Sixteen contractors will work on roughly $14.5 million project after approval at today’s meeting. Superintendent Greg Ebeling says they shaved more than $1 million off of the total number after they rebid three of the packages this month. A groundbreaking ceremony for the new building will be held Wednesday afternoon at 4 at 1102 Broadway. Construction will begin next week.
