1998 Southeast Missouri State University's Board of Regents Wednesday approved design plans for a $4.5 million Sikeston (Missouri) Area Higher Education Center despite uncertainty over local funding for the project; board president Don Dickerson and regent Loretta Walker questioned if regents should approve building plans when Sikeston has yet to raise the local match needed to proceed with the project; in the end, the regents voted to approve the project provided that Sikeston voters approve a sales tax issue that is on the April 7 ballot and a formal contract is signed between Sikeston and the university regarding the center.
