The official groundbreaking ceremony for the new Daycare Center is scheduled for Friday, July 17th, at 9:00 a.m. The facility will be located at the Four Corners on the LCO Reservation next door to the LCO Headstart/Early Headstart Building.
The groundbreaking ceremony will have comments from the architect, tribal government officials and the project manager, Brian Bisonette.
Bisonette told the LCO Tribal Governing Board that the contractor, DBS, was informed to hire all tribal members for the construction of the new Daycare Center. LCO Development will also be involved.
LCO Sec-Treasurer Michelle Beaudin said that they need to utilize any local subcontractor as well. She commented that we have competent cement workers, drywall installers, electricians, etc.
The project is estimated to cost $3,324,500 and will be funded from the CARES Act monies the Tribe received from the federal government to aid the LCO community following the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Anyone who does attend the groundbreaking is encouraged to maintain social distancing and spread out allowing 6 ft.
