WISNER, Neb. (AP) — Construction has begun on a new school to replace the one Pilger lost in the 2014 tornado, but it won’t be in that town.

The Wisner-Pilger school district held a groundbreaking ceremony last week for the new building being built in Wisner.

The new $10.7 million school will house elementary and middle school students. It replaces the district’s middle school that was destroyed in Pilger and its elementary school in Wisner.

Insurance money will pay for most of the new school, and the district will also receive help from the federal and state emergency management agencies.
