Planners for new Girard school focus on access

GIRARD — The groundbreaking ceremony for the new high school to be built here is fast approaching, and school officials want to make sure there is enough access to the site when the building is complete.

The school district has been working on plans that call for a junior/senior high school facility to be placed on Shannon Road near Beaver Street and Goist Lane. The groundbreaking for the project will be April 8.

School officials want to open up Highland Avenue and Gary Avenue to through traffic as part of the school building project. Both streets dead end into the new school property.

The Girard Planning Commission will meet at 7 p.m. April 8 to discuss the matter.
