Description: This project renovates an existing building into a child care and health care facility for Jordan Valley Community Health Center. The day care will serve newborns to age 5, including children with disabilities, and comprises four rooms and indoor and outdoor play areas, project officials say. The lobby for the health clinic will have an information center and interactive projector for children, while treatment will be given in four medical exam rooms, four dental exam rooms, and optometry and telehealth areas.
A safe room and classroom addition at Willard Central Elementary School will be used by the music, arts and athletic programs for a district that had 4,536 students last year, according to Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education figures, but school officials say enrollment is projected to grow.
