If anyone has been driving by the auditorium’s parking lot of the Jackson County Extension Services Building, it’s easy to see something is going on inside. The inside of the building is getting a glow up, with El Campo’s BLS Construction as the main contractor, and Oak and Clay’s Rachel Watkins as a subcontractor, and who helped create the design concept, Jackson County Judge Jill Sklar said.
Sklar said the discussion has been ongoing for a couple of years, but the court made a decision to move forward with the building recently. It will be broken down into three phases.
“This first phase consists of replacing the ceiling at the entrance to the front of the building, a refresh on the auditorium, the bathrooms, and the caterers’ kitchen next to the auditorium, and replacing floors, cabinets, counters, and appliances in the 4-H kitchen next to the extension office,” she said.
