UCL Community Desk · Union County Life
Construction is underway at Valley Road Elementary School in Clark this summer, with multiple projects both inside and outside the building. Clark Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Edward Grande confirmed the scope of work being completed at the school.
The projects include a roof replacement, fire alarm upgrades, hallway floor replacement, and a new phone system. In addition, construction crews are building a new playground behind the school, which is the most visible project currently underway. Excavators and other construction vehicles are on the field working to prepare the site, pulling up earth and moving dirt.
The playground construction has generated particular excitement among Valley Road students. Motorists traveling on Valley Road and nearby residents have noticed the increased construction activity throughout the summer. TAPinto Clark will provide updates on the project as it progresses.
