Summer Art Classes at Center for the Arts Open Registration Today

Bonita Springs, FL · July 29, 2026

The afternoon humidity is already settling thick over the Imperial River, but downtown remains lively.

The Lead

Construction crews working on the massive reconstruction of Bonita Springs Elementary are maintaining a steady pace this week despite peak summer rain patterns. Funded by the county's half-penny sales tax, the forty-million-dollar project aims to replace aging facilities with modern classrooms designed to accommodate growing student enrollment in the years ahead. District officials report that structural framing for the primary multi-story building continues to take shape right on schedule, ensuring that local families will see the facility ready for full operation by late next year. Builders are utilizing advanced moisture-mitigation techniques to protect raw materials during afternoon downpours, minimizing weather delays while framing the expansive indoor corridors.
