Dixon School Board is beginning to see the fruits of their labor. In Feburary 2018, the Dixon School Board approved almost $10 Million in school construction to the old High School.
The projects are funded by a mix of revenue from the 1 percent sales tax increase that took effect in July and health/life safety dollars from about $21.4 million in general obligation bonds approved last year to bring district schools up to code.
Currently, contractors such as Otto Baum, Russell, Sjostrom & Sons and Berglund Masonry have employed dozens of Construction Craft Laborers form Dixon’s LiUNA Local 727.
