SUNKEN GARDENS TESTING TO PROCEED

THE SIOUX CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL PROCEED WITH SOIL TESTING IN THE SUNKEN GARDENS HUBBARD PARK AREA  NEAR 28TH AND JONES.

THE DISTRICT IS LOOKING AT THE SITE AS A POSSIBLE LOCATION FOR A NEW NORTHSIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THE SIOUX CITY COUNCIL FIRST HAD TO APPROVE THE TESTING, WHICH THEY DID ON A 3-2 VOTE.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER JEFF HANSON SAYS ALL THE CITY HAS AGREED TO IS TO LET THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DO THE SOIL TESTING:

THE SCHOOL BOARD THEN APPROVED TO PROCEDE WITH THE TESTING AT THEIR MONDAY NIGHT MEETING. THAT TESTING IS EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
