Heuvelton voters approve district's $6.7 million capital project 134 to 28

Posted

HEUVELTON – Heuvelton school district voters approved the school’s $6.7 million capital project in a 134 to 28 vote Thursday.

Representatives from the architectural firm SEI Design, Albany, will be on hand to explain the proposed upgrades to the district’s facilities.

The project involves security improvements, as well as roof and masonry work and upgrades to the gyms, auditorium and athletic fields.

The district’s state building aid ratio is 94.4 percent. This means that for every $1 of eligible project cost .944 cents will be reimbursed to the district, according to a release from the district.

In addition to the building aid from the state, the district will apply $350,000 of unappropriated fund balance to help reduce the remaining cost of the local share.

The cost of this project for the taxpayers will be about $6 per year for a taxpayer with Enhanced STAR exemption and full value assessment of $100,000.
