There will be a public hearing by the Wicomico County Council tonight on the plans for a new Bennett Middle School.
But Superintendent John Fredericksen said he was not sure if he will speak.
The hearing is being held to approve $12.5 million in bonds for the construction of the school in the fiscal year 2013.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the county has spent around $8 million to buy the parcel of land in Fruitland.
The planning phase of the project began back in 2008…but was put on hold because of financial concerns.
The final price is $75.3 million -- $42.8 million of which is expected to be paid for by the county.
