Dimmit Middle to get $2.7 million in curb appeal
March 4th, 2010 at Thu, 4th, 2010 at 7:00 am by Celeste GraceyDimmit Middle School will be getting new fields, landscaping and asphalt in a $2.7 million project to keep the grounds updated.
The money comes from the 2008 bond, which must be used to improve school facilities.
Work would begin in June and end September 2010.
The Renton area is known for its generosity toward the school district, in particular for the beautiful buildings its paid for through levies.
Outside the school’s cafeteria the district plans to install a new play court, tether-ball poles and outdoor seating.
The grounds will see new hardscape and trees for indirect cooling.
Building modifications should be limited to new wardrobes and storage cabinets.
