Union School District seeks seismic grants

UNION — The possibility is as daunting as it is undeniable. The Oregon Office of Emergency Management reports on its website there is a 37% chance a major earthquake of at least a 7.1 magnitude will strike the state in the next 50 years, the impact of which would be felt throughout the Pacific Northwest. In the event of such an earthquake, the Union School District wants to be prepared. It has applied for a total of $4.4 million in grants from the state for seismic upgrades. One grant would be for $2.5 million for work at Union High School’s gym, and another would be for $1.9 million for upgrades at Union Elementary School’s S.E. Miller building, which children in kindergarten through third grade attend.

2021 will be a big year for bond project work in Union School District

UNION — Bond-funded renovation work in the Union School District in 2021 will modernize its aging buildings and wake up the echoes of one structure’s past. A presentation on the 2021 bond work made these points Wednesday night, Dec. 9, at a meeting of the Union School Board. Renovation work is set to start in March, said Cassie Hibbert of the Wenaha Group, which is serving as the construction management provider for the school district. Hibbert said exterior work will be done while school is in session and interior projects will be undertaken in the summer. Projects include restoring the steps of Union High School’s east entrance, which features four ornate pillars that are least 100 years old. The stairway work will allow the entrance, which has been closed for years because of the poor condition of its steps, to open again.
