Hoover and Meadow Creek elementary projects see nearly $6.5 million cost reduction

What happened

Larson Construction lowered the guaranteed maximum price for the new Hoover Elementary School and Meadow Creek Elementary School projects by nearly $6.5 million.

Why it matters to families

The lower guaranteed maximum price reduces projected construction costs for two major district facilities projects and could reduce the amount ultimately paid by district taxpayers, subject to the projects' final costs and scope.

The evidence

At the Sept. 14, 2026 board meeting, a board member reported that Larson Construction had lowered the guaranteed maximum price for the Hoover and Meadow Creek projects by nearly $6.5 million; the projects were described as under construction.
