Director of Caoital Proiects for Auburn School District Mr. Grose explained that the 37th Street SE site was chosen as the site of the new junior high school primarily because there is significant enrollment growth in this area of the City and utilities will accommodate further development. Mr. Grose stated that an alternative construction AUBURN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page No. 3 May 17, 1993 site on Dogwood Street SE was originally proposed for the school. However, the project was challenged by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, and the School District elected to pursue the 37th Street SE alternative site.
