As originally posted on www.vbschools.net on July 30, Van Buren Schools purchased the property at 209 S. Main St. with the intention of using it to increase the district’s outdoor practice space.
Starting today, village residents will see action on the property as the process of tearing down the house and other buildings begins. This will result in an increase in heavy equipment and trucks in the area.
Please use caution when driving through the area as there will likely be increased truck traffic.
Once all buildings have been removed, the project will continue with the installation of curbs, the movement and removal of multiple power poles, and the grading and seeding of the area to ready it for use in the fall of 2025.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation throughout the process of improving our facility.
