The first official shovels turned over on a new transportation center earlier this month, designed to support Elgin Independent School District’s growing bus fleet and future expansion needs.
District leaders and city officials joined project managers for a groundbreaking ceremony Aug. 21 on a 17-acre site along FM 1100, west of Neidig Elementary School. The center’s first phase will include secure parking for 36 buses, 25 district vehicles, a band 18-wheeler and 70 staff and visitor spaces, according to officials.
“We are so grateful for the role our transportation department plays in reaching our compelling purpose that every student deserves engaging, innovative educational experiences so that they are provided choice and opportunity for their future,” Superintendent Jana Rueter said in a prepared statement.
