A ground breaking ceremony is planned for the new addition to the Mona Elementary school.

The ceremony will be held Monday, April 9, at 10:30 a.m. at the school on the site of the new addition.

"We plan to start construction soon after the ground breaking ceremony," said Superintendent of Juab School District Kirk Wright.

He said that the school will be a welcome and needed addition to the school which has been experiencing a great deal of growth because of the many subdivisions and new homes in Mona.

"This is the first of the building projects the district is undertaking," said Wright. "It looks like things are moving right along and we are pleased about the progress."

Juab School District received the lowest possible bond interest rate at 3.98 percent on newly issued bonds which made the money available on April 3.

Because of the bonds, the district will be able to begin building on the Mona Elementary project right away is getting close to the ground breaking for the Red Cliffs project.

Wells Fargo Brokerage, offered the best interest rate, however, most were within the 4.00 percent range.
