Bids for the project were opened during the board meeting Aug. 31. The renovation had one bidder, L&L Construction, who submitted a contract with a total price of $2,471,000, which was near the estimated cost. L&L estimated they would be able to begin renovations near the end of this fall and work through the winter.
