'Edsploring' uses for Hawkeye building

Plans are for the former Hawkeye Elementary building to continue providing lifelong learning and healthrelated resources to the entire community. Hawkeye-based CV Research Labs was last week awarded the sale of the former North Fayette (NF) school building by the school board for $25,000.
Prior to the school board vote, Superintendent Duane Willhite informed those attending the Monday, Nov. 10, school board meeting that the sale was also supported by the Hawkeye Development Corporation. No patrons of the school district spoke in favor of or against the proposal during the public hearing.
