New parking lot, new alumni garden, new school sign

It will be a busy construction summer at Luverne Public Schools as work continues on the Alumni Garden, located on the east side of the middle-high school. Crews continue to bring in granite blocks that make up the outdoor classroom portion of the $1.4 million project, which is expected to be finished in September. Parking lot improvements began May 31 when Hulstein Excavating of Edgerton milled off the old asphalt surface. The $819,000 project is expected to be finished in August. Work has also started on the installation of a new, larger sign for the district along Highway 75.
