Helena School Board adds $1.75M to school construction costs due to tariffs, saturated subcontractor market

Facilities Director Kalli Kind told board members Tuesday that tariffs on steel are part of the reason for the increase. Three months ago, the district paid $1,100 for one ton of rebar. Now rebar costs are up 32 percent and cost $1,450 per ton.
