Construction of Rehoboth Elementary and the Sussex Consortium is moving along on schedule, with steel recently going up at both locations.

Cape Henlopen School District Director of Capital Projects Brian Bassett said July 17 the costs for the Rehoboth Elementary project are still in line with the budget, and the school is on schedule to open fall 2019 as planned.

Cape Henlopen School District officials and board members held a groundbreaking ceremony April 11.

District voters approved the $29 million elementary school in 2016 to be built on the property of the existing Rehoboth Elementary, 500 Stockley St. Once it’s finished, the two buildings that make up the existing Rehoboth Elementary, including the original Rehoboth High School, will be torn down.

The Sussex Consortium is a $30 million project featuring a 67,000-square-foot building with 26 classrooms that will house about 270 students.

The state is paying 100 percent for the construction of the Sussex Consortium, which offers an autism program for students across Sussex County. Cape Henlopen School District manages the program for the county.

School and elected officials broke ground for the Sussex Consortium’s new building May 14. Construction is expected to complete in fall 2019.
