STRONTIAN Community School Building (SCSB) Limited is nearing the first financial target that will see a new primary school near Ardnamurchan receive the go-ahead.
SCSB is aiming to raise £600,000 to complete the first community-owned school project in Scotland but calculated a minimum of £100,000 was required to allow it to proceed.
Subsequently, the company invited the community to invest in shares which were launched late last year. The share offer will close on February 28 and to date more than £70,000 has been raised.
