April showers may bring May flowers, but they can also delay construction. The start of construction for the new bathroom and concession building at the New Glarus School District Community Complex and The Bank of New Glarus Field has been delayed because of rain, but school officials say they remain optimistic the project will begin within the next couple of weeks and still be finished in time for the fall sports season.

New Glarus School District Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Thayer said the weather has slowed the expected start, but the district is continuing to move ahead with the project. She said local contractor Dave Anderson will oversee the work, with many local subcontractors also involved.
