Georgetown ISD's bond projects—including the building of two new elementary schools—remain on schedule amid coronavirus concerns, David Biesheuvel, the district's executive director of construction and development, told Community Impact Newspaper in a March 23 email.
"All construction projects are progressing as before with no interruptions or slow downs to date," Biesheuvel said. "At this time, there is no reason to believe the projects will be delayed."
In 2018, voters approved a $150.5 million bond package that included the construction of the new Wolf Ranch Elementary School located off of D.B. Wood Road south of Hwy. 29 and the Everett L. Williams Elementary School, located on Rockride Lane near the new Fairhaven housing development. Both schools are planned to open in the fall.
Bieshevuel said all projects remain on schedule but added the district is watching coronavirus-related updates closely in the event some work slowdown does occur due to personnel or material delivery issues.
