Ephrata schools storage building progressing

EPHRATA – Work has continued on the new Ephrata School District storage facility near the Ephrata High School Soccer pitch, according to a statement from the district.

The statement indicates that the building’s concrete floor has been poured and walls have gone up. The new building is part of a capital levy approved by Ephrata voters in 2022 and will be 40 feet by 100 feet. The purpose of the facility is to consolidate storage for the district.

The district currently leases 10 storage containers, has an on-site facility and rents two storage buildings.

“Construction of the building will provide capacity for future school construction projects and future district storage needs while saving just over $2,400 in monthly storage rental costs. Construction is expected to be completed this fall,” the statement reads.
