The Blaine County School District has agreed to settle a lawsuit with a Seattle-based company contracted to do a multimillion-dollar green energy project on Sun Valley-area schools.
The district announced the settlement Tuesday with McKinstry Essention Inc. to end an 18-month legal battle.
The Times-News reports settlement includes an exchange of final payments by each side.
Under terms, the school district has agreed to pay the company more than $665,600 for the green energy retrofit done on eight school buildings. In return, the company will pay the district $800,000 to use toward attorney fees.
The district and McKinstry have also signed a 25-year agreement ensuring $9.5 million in energy savings.
The district sued the company in May 2012, then McKinstry lawyers responded with a lawsuit of their own.
