The Corbin Board of Education took the next step in the construction of the Corbin Career Center during a special called meeting last Thursday by authorizing the issuance of $4.3 million in bonds.
Superintendent Dave Cox said the bonds will pay for not only the construction of the 9,100 square foot stand alone building on property behind the high school but also the replacement of the elevator at the Corbin Traditional School building on Kentucky Ave.
“This way we won’t have to pay the fees twice,” Cox said of the cost of the bond sale.
Cox said site work has begun for the career center project, with the goal of starting actual construction in July.
