New construction to continue

Whoever said construction ever had to grind to a halt during winter months? Not in Rooks County this winter. Construction is well underway on the new Rooks County Regional Airport. The new 5,000 paved runway should be operational by the fall of 2011.

Construction is continuing on the new Plainville Swimming Pool. Foundations and walls have been poured and crews continue to work throughout the week on different parts of the $1.5 million project.

Construction could begin soon on a new medical clinic in Stockton. The new clinic would replace the aging clinic facility near the Solomon Valley Manor and would be the home to two new doctors slated to come to Stockton and serve the Rooks County Health Center.

Construction could also begin on a new Independent Living facility in Stockton. The new facility will be located on the west side of Stockton near the swimming pool and downtown areas.
