Polk County (Fla.) district is modernizing an elementary school campus in Winter Haven, Fla.

The Polk County (Fla.) district is modernizing Fred G. Garner Elementary School in Winter Haven, Fla. 

When the project is complete, the 127,000-square-foot campus will accommodate about 990 students, the district says in a news release. 

The new facilities will be built in stages; the existing campus buildings will continue serving students until the project is finished. 

Funds for the project come from a half-cent sales tax that voters renewed in 2018.

The modernized elementary school is expected to be completed in 2023.
