The new fine arts building at Bradley Central High School should be ready for classes in the fall.CLEVELAND, Tenn. – High school arts and sciences classes here have new homes ready to open for the 2012 school year.
Bradley Central High School’s Fine Arts Center is complete. Cleveland High School’s new science center also is finished and is awaiting a ribbon cutting when school begins.
Both the Cleveland and Bradley County school boards say they have saved millions of dollars by being ready to begin construction at a time when contractors needed the work. Both also got a boost from voters who approved separate city and county sales tax increases two years ago.
“The project came in on budget, I believe under budget. And we, of course, came in on time,” said Casson Conn of TriConn Construction, the general building contractor for the fine arts project.
“In my humble opinion, we got good value and we were really able to seize the market when it was really hungry,” Conn said.
