DANBURY
One fringe benefit of the economic downtown is that the two pods for students at Nancy Reynolds Elementary School to study in while their school is being restored will cost $60,000 less than projected.
At the Stokes County Board Education's work session on Tuesday, David Burge, the school system's director of operations, presented bids for the two modular classrooms that the school system plans to put at Pinnacle Elementary School during the 2009-2010 school year.
He recommended that the board buy two pods made by Sunshine Manufactured Structures Inc. in Rockwell and sold through M Space Holding in Garner at a cost of $660,878 each, which is about $30,000 less than projected. With the school system buying two, that will bring the total savings to $60,000.
Burge attributed the lower cost to the recession.
"These guys are hungry for business," Burge said. "Their plants aren't operating at capacity."
