Kelso School District bonds now available

General obligation bonds now are available for investors who want to be part of the Kelso School District’s new elementary-school project.

The bond issue by underwriter L.J. Hart & Co. is worth $3.25 million, a figure voters approved by a 76 percent margin during the Aug. 2 election.

The bonds will go toward site development, construction, equipment and furniture for the 22,000-square-foot school, which is expected to be completed next fall.

It will replace the district’s current building in New Hamburg, Missouri, constructed in 1938 and leased from nearby St. Lawrence Parish.

It serves about 120 students in grades pre-K through eight.

Pertinent address:

Kelso, Mo.
