West Fork Wellness center near completion

     In July of last year, West Fork Community School District broke ground on an ambition project to build a multi-million dollar wellness center for West Fork students and community members to enjoy, and the completion of the new West Fork Wellness Center is almost finished.

     “We are very close to the initial cost estimate,” said West Fork Superintendent Darrin Strike.

     The initial estimate was between $3.5 and $3.6 million, and the build could not have been possible without a significant gift from Sukup Manufacturing, which donated almost $250,000. The estimate also included the demolition of the old weight room, and the creation and paving of the new parking lots outside of the center.
