On Wednesday, the HCDE Board of Trustees awarded Geofill Construction the construction contract for the new Coolwood Head Start campus. The new Coolwood building will be 13,830 square feet and will feature new training rooms, administrative offices, conference rooms, an updated kitchen, and six classrooms. It will be able to accommodate 120 students in the east Harris County community, an area it has served under the HCDE umbrella since 1999. Dirt will start being moved on the project before the end of the year, with anticipated construction completion by December 2023.
