LORDSTOWN While improvements may be needed down the road to the 40-plus-year old school district buildings, administrators and board of education members are discussing what must be done right now, such as flooding problems at the discus pit.
Superintendent Greg Bonamase said at Wednesday’s board meeting he has spoken with officials from MS Consultants about a drainage-improvement project at the athletic field and also addressed the often-flooded discus pit.
He said it was recommended the district replace the 900 linear feet of pipes to improve drainage off Salt Springs Road and to lay more piping at the discus field to enhance drainage there. He said some of the current piping is in good condition with cracks that can be fixed.
Bojangles achieved a couple of firsts last month when it opened two restaurants inside Loveâs Travel Stops in Arkansas and Illinois. Those restaurants were the first of 40 planned inside Loveâs locations as part of a franchise development agreement signed in late 2019 and they also marked Bojanglesâ entry into both states.
Itâs the beginning of a broader development push for the Southern fried chicken and biscuits chain that in January 2019 was acquired by Durational Capital Management and The Jordan Company for $593 million in a take-private deal.
Bojangles, which already has franchisees with restaurants inside Loveâs in Georgia and Florida, examined those operations as it evaluated the truck stop and convenience store company as a franchisee, said Jose Costa, chief development officer at Bojangles. âWe used that internal data to analyze future performance,â he said.
