LOUISBURG For years, visitors to Louisburgs Wildcat Stadium have had a long walk if they wanted to purchase concessions or use a rest- room. That might not be the case much longer.

USD 416 officials have been actively completing capital improvement projects in the district, including lights for the soccer field at the beginning of last school year, purchasing the districts own bus fleet and a new greenhouse at the high school for this school year.

Members of the board of education recently set their sights on some other projects they would like to see completed in the district, including a concession stand and restroom building that would serve not just the visitor side of the bleachers at football games, but also the soccer field.

Our capital outlay budget is healthy, said Brian Biermann, district superintendent. We dont need a Taj Mahal. We have a nice soccer field now, but have porta-potties and a mobile concession stand. A concession-restroom building could serve a dual purpose as visitors concession and restrooms at football games. We can even look into putting locker rooms there for visiting teams and the soccer teams if you want.

Biermann presented the board with a list containing 20 projects. This is a list the district has been working its way through the past couple of years in an effort to keep ahead of needed projects.

It is hoped that three or four of the projects can be completed this year. Other than the concession stand/restroom building, those projects include the construction of a new exit from the Broadmoor Elementary parking lot to Metcalf near South Eighth Street and the reconfiguration of the sewer line at Broadmoor to eliminate a lift station.
