State Provides Funding for HdG Middle/High School Project
The funds will go toward planning a joint campus.
Maryland lawmakers have reportedly allocated funding in the state budget to set plans in motion for two new schools in Havre de Grace.
"It's done!" County Councilwoman Mary Ann Lisanti reported Wednesday afternoon. "Board of Public Works gives state planning approval to Havre de Grace HS/MS."
In the past year, Harford County Public Schools put together a proposal to design a campus that would combine Havre de Grace High School and Havre de Grace Middle School.
First, the proposal cleared the Interagency on School Construction, a state agency that filters projects before they get to the Board of Public Works, which administers school construction funding. On Wednesday, Lisanti said the board gave the project the green-light for planning funds.
Planning is among the first steps in the process of building a new school, preceding construction and usually including public input.
