Architects, builders benefit from school bonds in Wichita

Nearly five years after Wichita voters approved a $370 million school bond issue, local architects and contractors are reaping the benefits. The Wichita Eagle says 18 architecture firms and 17 construction companies have landed work as part of the school bond issue. Of the nearly $228 million paid through Sept. 5 for 70 projects, about $153 million – more than two-thirds – went to four architecture firms and five contractors.
