There are now 11 different presentations on the Millcreek Township School District website for plans to consolidate McDowell and the intermediate school into one building with the demolition of McDowell included in the plans. Sean McCracken, of the Erie Times-News, notes the project, which includes the construction of a new Gus Anderson Field on the east side of Caughey Road, is estimated to cost between $98 million and $104 million.
