JEFFERSON CITY (KMIZ)

The Jefferson City School District Board of Education voted to fund $20 million worth of athletic facilities at Jefferson City High School and Capital City High School.

According to a Facebook post from the district, the new facilities will allow both schools to keep all of their sports on campus. The district said it plans to get funding through a certificate of participation.

"The district will be taking advantage of historically low interest rates to budget $1.5M per year from the capital projects fund over the next 20 years," a district spokesperson said in the post.

The district hopes to begin construction by May of 2021, and the facilities could be usable by the fall of 2021.

Here's a link to the complete list of project details.
