Major construction efforts in the area focus on educational infrastructure, with McGregor Independent School District leading development on a significant new junior high school facility. The project underscores ongoing investment in community facilities.[1]
McGregor ISD Junior High Project
Located at 1 Dell Way, the undertaking includes 60,000 square feet of new construction and 45,000 square feet of renovation to an existing building, designed to serve 600 students. Valued at $41 million, construction started on May 1, 2025, with a targeted completion date of August 1, 2026. This forms part of a broader $82 million bond package approved by voters to enhance school infrastructure, including a new high school gymnasium.[1][2]
Complementing this is the new $5 million Fidelity Bank building at 27325 W. Highway 84, a 10,088-square-foot facility under new construction since November 2025, also due in late 2026.[3]
These projects highlight sustained construction activity, creating demand for skilled labor in engineering, architecture, and contracting during their active phases. Looking ahead, completions in mid- to late 2026 will expand educational capacity and commercial presence, with required accessibility inspections to follow openings.[1][3]
