School will get upgrades practice fields
A referendum for the Holmen school district passed two of three areas and will receive over $3 million over the next two years.
Over 2,800 voted Tuesday and the district passed in the areas of security (64 percent) and parking/practice field upgrades (54.3%). Not passing the vote was new field turf and seating for Empire Stadium (48.5%).
Most of the money ($2.84 million) will be used for security and safety projects, while $900,000 will go for additional parking and practice fields, as well as renovated shot/discus areas at the track.
Failing by 89 votes was $300,000 to build additional seating and put down synthetic turf at Empire.
