Laidlaw Education Services, who will be Cape
Girardeau School District’s newest bus provider, has located their
Cape terminal facility at 3365 E. Outer Road, near I-55 and Nash Road. Tom Kelsey, commercial broker with Lorimont Place, Ltd. who
handled the multi-year lease transaction said the 5,600 square foot
facility would house all of Laidlaw’s local operations here including
regional offices complete with a repair and maintenance shop.
Kelsey said the location owned by Moriah Investments, Inc. would
also provide a secure fenced yard area to park 25 to 30 of the
companies’ buses.
Laidlaw,
based out of Naperville, Illinois provides over 1,000 school
districts nationwide with transportation services and employees over
45,000 employees. Laidlaw,
secured a three-year contract with a two-year renewal option with the
school district and successfully outbid the previous bus provider, First
Student for bus services back in May.
They are the largest private contractor of student transportation
services in North America and transport more than 2 million students to
and from school every day. It
was uncertain how many new jobs the transportation company would provide
locally.
