Heavener, OK (June 2025) – Heavener Public Schools has begun construction of a new multi-use Physical Education facility to be utilized district-wide. When the previous PE building fell into disrepair and was demolished, the district decided to replace the old facility with a newer, user-friendly pre-engineered metal building. The new 14,000-square-foot facility will have a multi-use floor for various athletics and instruction. Construction is anticipated to be completed in December of 2025, and financing for the project was provided by Government Capital Corporation, Southlake, Texas.
“Heavener Public Schools has partnered with Government Capital on multiple projects over the past twenty years,” stated Ed Wilson, Superintendent, Heavener Public Schools. “Gov Cap and their unique understanding of Oklahoma school finances, specifically funding projects utilizing Title 62 Section 430.1B, has enabled Heavener Public Schools to make our dream a reality.”
“I want to congratulate Superintendent Ed Wilson and the Heavener Public Schools board on this project. Mr. Wilson’s foresight to line up financing before initiating bids for the construction made financing for the whole project possible,” commented Cris Linse, Municipal Finance Specialist, Government Capital Corporation. “We take great pride in partnering with Oklahoma schools and enabling them to provide the best learning experience for their students for years to come.”
