The meeting was adjourned at 7:18 p.m. The next board meeting will be held March 15 at 7 p.m. at Tarkio High School. Editor’s Notes: Total cost estimate for the Heartland Recreation Center project is around $3 million. To build a new building today (with all this one includes) would cost roughly $9 million. To build a new gym by itself (24,000 sq. ft.) would be roughly $4.5 million. Heartland Rec’s utility bills this past month were around $8,000. After renovations are made to the building, the utility bill would be around $3,250 per month.
