⢠The Tupelo Public School District Board of Trustees on Tuesday approved acontract to expand parking at Milam Elementary School and construct an additional canopy for dropping off students.
Charles Laney, TPSDâs Executive Director of Operations, said the project will add 51 new parking spaces to the parking lot connected to Robins Street, behind Milam. Including existing spaces, the parking lot will have 95 to 100 total parking spaces when the project is complete.
An additional canopy for student drop-offs will also be built as part of the contract with Sloan Landscape Architecture, LLC.
The estimated cost of the project is between $650,000 and $700,000. Laney hopes to have bids awarded in April so construction can begin and be completed by the time school resumes in August.
