Voters in the Glenwood Community School District, Tuesday, approved passage of a 10-year Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) that will generate about $3.7-million for a long list of renovations to the complex, including a new track surface, a press box, bleachers, locker rooms, concession stands, ADA compliant restrooms and a parking lot. Unofficial results from the Mills County Auditor’s Office show the physical plant and equipment levy referendum passed 969-to-838 (or, 53.62 percent-to-46.38 percent).

The levy amounts to 85-cents per thousand dollars property valuation. Voters rejected the first referendum on the issue last April by a super majority. Tuesday’s PPEL referendum passed on a simple majority.
