Beginning
in 1999 the Winnebago Tribe petitioned the federal government to
construct a new, larger Winnebago-Omaha
Hospital facility in Winnebago.
The facility is expected to be completed in 2003, employing an additional
130 persons in the community. |

Winnebago Public Schools
recently completed a large expansion project due to its extremely
overcrowded conditions in the existing building. The $7,000,000
expansion was funded through a local tax bond election issue passed
in 2000, state tax funds, and loans. The expansion included new
kitchen and cafeteria facilities, a new regulation-size gymnasium,
and classrooms for the elementary school. The school had completed
an expansion of its recreation facilities in 2000 that included
construction of a new track and football field. |

| The
Little Priest Tribal College recently completed some
additions to its facilities, which include adding two wings. One
of the wings will house a new cultural learning center, tribal museum,
and the language and cultural department, and the other wing will
house a new student center and computer lab. Construction of a new
library will begin in the Fall of 2002. Funding for this project
has been combined from several sources - the U.S. Department of
Agriculture/Rural Development, the Lilly Foundation, the Kellogg
Foundation, and Title 3 Federal funds. |
